Run script on Awesome WM startup
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I'm trying to run a script on Awesome WM start after the login screen (not on the awesome --replace or awesome.restart()).
Does anyone knows the way? No matter is it some kind of /etc/rc.* script or the ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua solution.
Thanks!

As a workaround, adding those signals handlers into ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua:
awesome.connect_signal(
'exit',
function(args)
awful.util.spawn('touch ~/.awesome-restart')
end
)
awesome.connect_signal(
'startup',
function(args)
awful.util.spawn('bash -c "rm ~/.awesome-restart || ~/script-to-run-on-startup.sh"')
end
)
Explaining:
- on the exit signal, that performs only on awesome restart we're creating a flag file, that tells to the startup signal that this startup is going immediately after the awesome restart
- on the startup signal fired we're removing this flag and if it doesn't remove successfully (doesn't exist) - we're running our startup-only script.
PS: Checked - the exit signal doesn't fire on sudo reboot, so it won't be inappropriately fired on full system restart.
