How to change the order of startup applications?

  • 772

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick.

I have a long list of startup applications as you can see here: startup apps

I have added an entry for Google Chrome, and I would like Google Chrome to start like first of all the other applications... How is this done?

startup

    These will start in alphabetical order, so you can name the startup application 0-Chrome to start it before the others.

  2. You can use a startup script and make it look like:

    #!/bin/bash
app1 &
app2 &
sleep 2s
app3 &

    Make it executable and add an entry in the startup applications like:

    sh /path/to/startupscript.sh
