Thanks David, but as a beginner I have no idea where to write this scipt. I
assume you don't mean that I write such a script in the QjackCtl setup GUI,
right?

The meta-symbols can be used to pass parameters to the command. For
example, if "alsa" is your active QjackCtl preset, %P would be replaced
with "alsa" when the command is executed.
From your description it sounds like to don't need
a startup script at
all, but what you really want is "qjackctl -p alsa".*
That's very insightful Dominic - thanks! What would "qjackctl -p alsa" do
and where would I enter it? in the QjackCtl settings window? I don't
understand the meta-symbols at all. So "%P alsa" is meaningless in terms of
automatically loading a QjackCtl preset?
