What's in the script?

[-] zexu@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

it's working fine on running manually. the script is not running on autostart .

Does it start with a crunchbang?

[-] zexu@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

yes

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

Does the crunchbang point to the right shell?

[-] zexu@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

yes, i confirmed that by executing just by the name

[-] barrett9h@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

executed as what user?

maybe a permission thing? what user runs the autostart thing?

[-] zexu@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

No autostart script is working fine. i have other things there too, waybar, bg wallpaper & everything

Try adding a touch command to see if a file gets created
