I'm trying to run a script at login, and this is the way I've found to do it.I'ved edited /etc/rc.local with a line such as bash /home/me/script.sh.I've made that script executable.It doesn't seem that my command is being executed upon login. What steps could I take to debug this?My distro is Linux Mint 12 running Gnome.
Why isn't /etc/rc.local executed when I log in?

/etc/rc.local is executed at boot, not during login.  If you want to run something at login, you'd normally put it in ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile.  For GUI applications, Gnome has a Startup Applications tool.Or did you mean boot when you said login?
