Autostart folder

Contributed by: Diego Dainese
This tip is valid for: Both BeOS and Haiku

To make an autostart folder, first make a directory for this purpose:

 $ mkdir ~/config/autostart

then add these lines to ~/config/boot/UserBootscript:

for program in /boot/home/config/autostart/*
do
	"$program" &
done

Now you may put links to application or shell scripts on the autostart directory, and they will be executed every boot.
