How do I create a startup command permanent on every cycle restart ? As previously having brightness reset when set at power saving mode to turn off the monitor.

I found out xset dpms 600 900 1800 works on turning off the monitor display but I wanted it to run at startup which i do no need to type manually on the terminal.
I tried adding xset dpms 600 900 1800 to the bottom of home/.profile but it didn't work.
Further testing and by adding an extra line to run terminal by adding
xset dpms 600 900 1800
gnome-terminal
at the terminal startup checking the xset -q xset dpms was not set Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0 while it should be Standby: 600 Suspend: 900 Off: 1800
The weird scenario is when manually launch a terminal without typing anything , the command of xset dpms 600 900 1800 active.
What would it be the reason ? .profile with command 'xset dpms 600 900 1800' Not trigger on startup but when I launch terminal manually it trigger the command.
If anyone could explain the reason ? or a better way to run the command on startup rather running on .profile ?
The X Server, which listens for the
xsetcommand, starts after login.Place the command in a script, and put the script in your ~/.config/autostart/ directory. It will run every time the X Server is started for your account.
