I'm using expressvpn and they offer a terminal command expressvpn connect to connect to the latest vpn. Sometimes i forget to execute the command on startup and i'd like it to be automatically executed in tilda.

Tilda is a dropdown terminal for linux im using. Furthermore i'm using ubuntu 16.04 and i have managed to put tilda in the autostart so it starts with the system.

Question: How can i make tilda on startup execute the simple command expressvpn connect? I have not found any such option in the preferences of tilda.

Thanks for your help!

  • Have you considered putting the connection command into a `bash` script and have that autoexecute? – Dave Jun 06 '16 at 13:16
  • yes but doesn't this execute the command in a standard terminal and not tilda? i must admit i've never written any bash script before. – Raggamuffin Jun 06 '16 at 13:36
  • You can create a desktop file which can be used to directly call Tilda and execute a script, then put the desktop file into autostart. Have a look here for info: http://askubuntu.com/questions/436891/create-a-desktop-file-that-opens-and-execute-a-command-in-a-terminal – Dave Jun 06 '16 at 13:53
