Adding RealTimeSync to Startup Applications does indeed cause the app to start after logging in. However, it pops up a windows that prompts to "Start".

Is there a way to bypass user input & have the app just run?

You need to save an RTS configuration and set that to autostart

For anyone else counting on this thread... what is meant is that you need to open your *.ffs_batch file in RealTimeSync, adjust the Idel time (if you wish) & then go to File>Save as... & that lets you save as a ffs_real file. Thanks xcsx

Anyone know how to state the path to /usr/share/applications/RealTimeSync in the ffs_real XML file??? I'm getting "Could not execute <path to *.ffs_real> Program not found in SPATH". Throw a recent MS refuge a bone & spell it out if you really want to help someone out. ;)

Interesting, I was hoping Linux would know to open the .ffs_real file with RTS. You may have to specify RTS as the executable to autostart and provide the path to your ffs_real configuration file as a parameter

Not sure I can do that, when creating the "Startup Applications>Custom command" you can only point to a single file, you cannot add additional parameters (like you can do in a Windows Task Scheduler>Actions config).

This can't be that complicated & I'm amazed no one seems to have run into this & provided a solution or "it just can't be done in Linux, you'll have to click the Start button each time you login". :o\

Just fill the "Command" like:
/path/to/RealTimeSync /path/to/your.ffs_real
add to startup.PNG
