Good day,

On the internet I was informed to use update-rc.d.

According the man page..:
EXAMPLES
Insert links using the defaults:
update-rc.d foobar defaults

This is what I get..:

unknown001e33032a68:/home/johan# whereis gkrellm
gkrellm: /usr/bin/gkrellm /usr/share/man/man1/gkrellm.1.gz

unknown001e33032a68:/home/johan# update-rc.d /usr/bin/gkrellm defaults
update-rc.d: /etc/init.d//usr/bin/gkrellm: file does not exist

unknown001e33032a68:/home/johan# update-rc.d gkrellm defaults
update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/gkrellm: file does not exist

unknown001e33032a68:/home/johan#

Please what is wrong.
Thanks
Johan

That is not suitable for programs that run as normal user. It is meant
only for programs that are specifically meant to be run in the background.

Are you using GNOME?

For starting "gkrellm" when booting? :-?

Applications are not services.

You can launch "gkrellm" by going to "system → prefs → sessions →
startup" and adding a new entry that points to the binary "/usr/bin/
gkrellm".

If you are using another desktop different than GNOME your mileage may
vary.

Wouldn't putting a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart serve to make
the program autostart on _any_ XDG-compliant system? That's what I'm
getting from reading the spec (though it's marked Draft currently)

And that is _exactly_ what you get by following the instructions I
provided (which is one of the benefits of using a Freedesktop compliant
DE like GNOME).

In brief: "All roads lead to Rome" ;-)
