Hi I have looked up various pages online looking for the answer, Ive done this before and can not remember how. I wish to run a command at start up/Login “streamdeck -n” I can do this at the prompt but it grabs output and closes when prompt closes, I therefore if doing manualy from the prompt have to enter “nohup streamdeck -n &”. I have created a small bash script to be run at startup, however this does not seem to function, the only thing I can think of is IAm running ZSH rather than Bash. Manual input from prompt ![Prompt](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/3/8/38e3da9af3211ce68030ec29222993ada684a9e0.png) Script ![Contents](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/2/a/2a2cd1809441e78c8137b57bfb77891c2a0feae1.png) Autostart ![autostart](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/9/c/9c1f5852766453b6c21badb16600d86685ac7ec3.png) Autostart Properties ![AutostartPropertise](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/e/6/e629264d2500672c66e656987ccae00a48e064c6.png) What changes / What have I done wrong? – Data ---

Hi That was my first choice. But it still does not launch at boot/launch/login It’s missing something!! ![aurostart1](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/c/b/cb1af77f49c51036e3b970786bc7df8c96db9ebc.png) – Data ---

Try this: move the script out of ~./config/autostart/ Add the script again from the new location in Settings - Startup and Shutdown - Autostart I don’t know about ZSH, but the duckduckgo says: To use zsh explicitly, add the shebang as: #!/usr/bin/zsh ---

The script does work if you db-click on it? If streamdeck is an application, you should add it as that and not as script ---
