Ignition

I'm configuring an HMI in a plant that I want Perspective Workstation Project to launch when the hardware is turned on/restarted. I am using ubuntu 24.04 Linux OS.

Requesting instructions.

Thanks

I don't have the exact folder path here, but typically you should be able to go into Workstation and tell it to create a shortcut for the project which will place it on the desktop. Then copy that file (will be a .desktop file) to the user's home directory under what I recall being something like ~/.config/autostart and make sure the file has execute permissions. I think that's it to make it work, but been a while since I've done one.
