I've got a pretty heavy conky config comprised of multiple files I just spent several days on, and I used a simple shell script to start it and used Gnome Classic's autostart application menu to autorun it. For whatever reason, it never starts, but if I run the same exact identical command in the terminal, works perfectly fine.

check that you give it execution permission – user61928 Sep 26 '12 at 5:32

Do you have the proper first line: #! /path_to_interpreter (usually: #! /bin/bash) ? Does your script have proper attributes and right to be run as a program? – Misery Sep 26 '12 at 6:28
Used chmod, It's executable. Apparently the Autorun does not like the .sh extension, I removed it and now it works. – Garret Sep 27 '12 at 23:45
Welcome to AskUbuntu. Can you provide your conky script? – penreturn Oct 12 '12 at 19:09
