autostart for users

[Florian Lindner <mailinglists@xgm.de>]

Hello,

I want to give users the possbility to autostart programms on boot. My 
first idea would be to put a line like that in /etc/rc.local

[ -x /home/flindner/autostart ] && su flindner -c 
"/home/flindner/autostart"

Probably something like that would be better:

[ -x /home/cburchard/autostart ] && su cburchard -c 
"/home/cburchard/autostart &"

So that a blocking script does not block the rc.local file. Should I 
also add a nohup? Or another way?

Thanks,
Florian
