This is a simple program launcher meant to be used during session startup. Each application has an independent countdown and can be cancelled or run immediately. It's written with Ruby-GTK2 and should run everywhere where it's available, though it's only tested on Linux.
xstartup- show the settings windowxstartup -run- show the countdown window and run the configured applications
- Uncheck an application to hide it
- Enter the number of seconds for the application's countdown in the Timeout field, or enter 0 to disable the countdown but still show the application
- Enter a Ruby expression in the Condition field to dynamically enable the application if the expression is true
- The configuration is stored in
~/.xstartupin YAML format
- Click on an application's icon to start it immediately
- Click on an application's cancel button to skip it
- If no countdowns are left the window will automatically close
