How can I make Shutter open at startup?

Question

How can i make the application, Shutter (takes screenshots) open at startup? I know about sys > prefs > statup applications, but after I go to add what do I fill out the form with? Shutter isn't a command, is it?

Answer 1

For Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04

You can drag and drop the Shutter menu item ^{(Applications ➜ Accessories ➜ Shutter)} into
the Startup Applications window and it will be added to the list of applications that start on login.

Answer 2

Actually, you answered the question yourself. Go to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications and add a new item with "Shutter" (or something else) as the name and shutter as the command.

Answer 3

For the command, add shutter --min_at_startup to make it startup minimized.

Answer 4

Ubuntu 11.10 and Above

Refer to this Question, How do I add/remove the "hidden" startup applications? and specally to this answer to know how to access the startup applications

Then click on ADD and type this command in the CUSTOM field:

sh -c "sleep 50 && shutter --min_at_startup &"

You can change the time of the sleep if you want it to be launched earlier.
