Or the simpler solution is (assuming a "stock" Rivendell 3.x installation): ~rd/.config/autostart/RDAirplay.desktop The contents of which is: > [Desktop Entry] > Encoding=UTF-8 > Version=0.9.4 > Type=Application > Name=RDAirplay > Comment=Rivendell playout app > Exec=/usr/bin/rdairplay > OnlyShowIn=XFCE; > StartupNotify=false > Terminal=false > Hidden=false You can create this file by hand and drop it in place (permissions '644'), or you can use the XFCE4 menus to add it (Applications -> Settings -> Session and Startup) in the "Application Autostart" tab. This works reliably on all recent versions of Rivendell using XFCE4 on CentOS 7.
