Find i3 Config File
Fist we need to find our i3 Config File register a Script, witch runs when we start i3. It is most likely located at ~/.config/i3/config
Run Script on Start of i3
Now we just tell i3 to run a Bash Script autostart.sh
located at ~/.config/i3/
on start. We add this line to our ~/.config/i3/config
File:
exec --no-startup-id bash ~/.config/i3/autostart.sh
Setup the Bash Script
Last but not least we create the Bash Script autostart.sh
located at ~/.config/i3/
containing:
#!/bin/bash
grep -rh Exec ~/.config/autostart | while read -r line ; do
${line:5} &
done
This will look in our Directory ~/.config/autostart
for executable Script Paths and run them.
(optional) /etc/xdg/autostart
We can also add our /etc/xdg/autostart
to our Bash Script autostart.sh
, if we wish to execute it as well. We add to our Bash Script autostart.sh
:
grep -rh Exec /etc/xdg/autostart | while read -r line ; do
${line:5} &
done
