Hey ;) Does somebody know how to autostart a bash script as root? If i put a .desktop in /etc/xdg/autostart which runs the script it only works as nemo user.. I search for a way to start my script as root, so that i don't need to start it every time i reboot in terminal... I need thsi, because bind mount only works as root :/ Thanks :)

I wrote a simple service with a small explanation for another answer to another question in this forum. See here:

You can use it as an example or starting point for creating your own service file and starting your own shell script with root required commands. Perhaps it helps ...

Another way could be to use sudo.
pkcon install sudopkcon install nanoEDITOR="nano" visudonemo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/nemo/rootstart.sh/home/nemo/rootstart.sh(as root) and make it executable (chmod +x). This file will be executed as root later on.#!/bin/sh # Add some code which should be executed as nemo here if you like... echo "Gaining root rights..." # Finally become root: sudo /home/nemo/rootstart.sh
That's it. Now execute /home/nemo/autostart.sh however you like (directly, by /etc/xdg/autostart/something.desktop / as systemd user service / ...).

Did you consider creating a systemd service which would run your script?
strnous ( 2014-01-17 00:15:24 +0300 )editI'll try this in /lib/systemd
jayki ( 2014-01-17 01:10:51 +0300 )edit@jayki It is not just placing your script in /lib/systemd which needs to be done. Please, see i.e. here and/or here
