Hi Len,
unfortunately the .desktop file is not good for me.
it is only run after I have logged in, whereas I want my script to be
started as me, but before I log in.
Is there a way to achieve that, without resorting to autologin ?

Hi all,
I am trying to run jackd instance from
/etc/rc.local (along with a few
other
applications) from a custom made init script.
The system is ubuntustudio and I have setup everything to have elevated
permissions when executing applications from the @audio group.
Are you really wanting to run audio while you are logged out? It would be
much easier to add a desktop file to ~/.config/autostart/ Like
jackstart.desktop with something like:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.9.4
Type=Application
Name=AutoJack
Comment=Jackdbus starter
Exec=jack_control start
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Hidden=false
Change the Exec to point to a script if you want to add config options, or
use jackd instead of jack_control if you don't care about PA-jack bridging.
This will have jack runnning from login.
If you want to headless operation then have rc.local do it as the user
that will run this stuff.
