run command where specific user login

Question

I have made a script that I want to run only where the user kyle logs in. I don't want it to be run on all users like a start-up app. I only want it to run when the user kyle logs in

Which DE (Desktop Environment) is being used? – Wilf Dec 05 '14 at 19:27 — Wilf, Dec 05 '14 at 19:27

To setup tasks to run on login, use gnome-session-properties. This means you can add programs to run when you login to the user account on your machine.

You can configure it like this - just add the command you want to run in the command box: config

Very long answer on that here
