Simple login script in openSuSe
Hi guys,

Ok so I'm basically trying to run a script on loging or after everything else has started up, I've done so much googling my head is spinning I don't understand the which file I have to edit with the details of my script,

In suse there is no etc/profiles folder its daemonised so its /etc/profiles.d and I don't understand if this matters?

I've read and looked in various profile rc and bash_rc type files and I'm so confused about the differences between them, I understand there's interactive and normal shells but I don't get what is actually started in the last runlevel or after log in, (or is it just started when an actual terminal is opened?)



Also I've read about this skeleton file in /etc/init.d that you can use to create a service / daemon but that's far too complicated all I need to do is to run the following shell script when I log in:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
vgscan
vgchange -ay
mount /dev/mapper/vg_codename-lv_root /home/whitenight639/fedora


basically I have an encrypted logical volume on with all my music on I just want this to automount and I've played with fstab and cryptab and It will not mount during boot as some of the required kernel modules or programmes arn't started at that time, also It won't automount through dolphin I have to run the above commands everytime I have rebooted. Some of the media on this drive is shared as a samba share and sometimes when I login i forget to run those commands and mount the drive so my shares arnt visible on the network.

please help

NAME

       script - make record of a terminal session

SYNOPSIS

       script [-a] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       The  script  utility  makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
       record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.

       The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
       when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -a    Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.

NOTES

       script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |

WARNINGS

       script  can  pose  a  security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
       privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
