If you use fish shell and are like me and have things you want on a delay for autostart in KDE. Here’s the script so you can make a executable fish file.
- It can be a text file or empty file. Just make sure the name ends in .fish
Then add the text below, where “APP NAME HERE” is you can find it in dolphin or in terminal type which app-name (Example which thunderbird)
Then put it in place of ~/usr/bin/APP NAME HERE
#!/usr/bin/fish
# Delay for 15 seconds
sleep 15
# Start your application
~/usr/bin/APP NAME HERE
My script called " delayed_start.fish " but it can be anything .fish
Don’t forget to make it executable after you make it.
-
Right click on the file an click properties → permissions
-
Then just add it to auto start.
*You can drag the script to terminal to test it if your app is named weird or in some other location.
**Note at the time of posting Garudas default shell is bash you can change this in Garuda Assistant but, you can do a different script for bash. For this there are a lot of examples on the net.
