As I said I am a starting user of Ubuntu. what is wrong? If I use the command in the terminal it starts up correctly, not through the 'Startup Applications'.

Please do the following:

1) Create a file named autostart.sh in the ~/minimserver-0.63 directory containing the following lines:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

cd "$( dirname "$0" )"/data
java -jar ../lib/minimserver.jar --noconsole --nohup </dev/null >minimserver.out 2>&1 &

exit 0

2) Use the chmod 755 command to make the autostart.sh file executable.

3) In the Edit Startup Program dialog, change the command to:

Code:

/home/<username>/minimserver-0.63/autostart.sh

where <username> is your user name. You can't use '~' for this here.

I've tried this on Ubuntu, and it's working for me.

I'll add this autostart.sh script to the next release of MinimServer.

Thanks Simon, works like a charm. Is this generic knowledge for a Linux user?
