Customizing startup of the Graphical Environment

Configuring scologin's startup behavior

After scologin authenticates a user, it executes the startup script, /usr/lib/X11/scologin/Xstartup.


NOTE: This script is run as root and as such, should be written with security issues in mind.

This script does not execute any commands by default -- it is empty except for a few comment statements. You can place shell commands in the file to perform custom startup tasks, such as mounting users' home directories from file servers, displaying the message of the day, setting custom shell environment variables, and so forth.

Once this script has been executed, scologin begins the user's session.
