I am looking to set remmina (more specifically a remmina file) to boot when the Ubuntu 14.04 system boots. I was looking for help as to what command to enter for a certain .remmina file to boot. Thank you!

  • Do you mean a remmina config file to be established at boot time? Because Remmina is a GUI-interfaced app and will not wake up before some GUI session be opened. – Redbob Aug 17 '17 at 15:11
  • Ok, thank you. Do you know how long the wait command needs to be and how to write in the wait? – notoriousnc Aug 17 '17 at 15:50
  • you can put sleep 100s ; <remina command> needs the semi colon - that is 'then' - how long it needs to be is up to you – wuxmedia Aug 14 '19 at 10:41

Assuming you have connected to the remote system before, there will be a config file for this connection in ~/.remmina/. The config file will be of the form [numeric string].remmina. If you have several files, I know of no easy way to find the one you want from looking at the file names. However, you can open the files with a text editor until you find the one you want.

Once you know which config file to use [desired-config-file].remmina, the terminal command line to start remmina in that config file is remmina -c [desired-config-file].remmina.

You can simply add this command line to Startup Applications in Ubuntu.

As a commenter said, you don't want this command line to execute until your desktop has started. You may have to add a wait command to achieve that; unfortunately I don't remember how to do that.
