start up command

I want to run this command on startup. Could anyone help me with this?

compton --backend glx --glx-fshader-win "$(cat $HOME/local/grayscale.glsl)"&

(sudo apt install compton-conf compton)

I tried two options

1. Input this into the "Startup" setting.

    This will disrupt everything, after I input this, the 'guake' startup disappears. I have another startup that starts guake terminal.
2. Input this into the .profile

    This pops out warnings.

While this command works, if I run it in terminal and disable compton-x
compton --backend glx --glx-fshader-win "$(cat $HOME/local/grayscale.glsl)"&

Re: start up command

3 options
1-Put your command directly into the application autostart - messy
2-Put you command into a script and then use the autostart to call the script - tidy
3-Use a terminal that actually and properly functions in Xfce4. I use Tilda but Xfce4-terminal can also be configured to drop down. Guake is designed to work with Gnome.

Re: start up command

Guake work for icewm (with antix linux)

guake
compton --backend glx --glx-fshader-win "$(cat $HOME/local/grayscale.glsl)"

Now with guake and compton, guake takes effect while compton does not.
