I'm trying to get a specific service to start on login, and the

How is that not working? Is it due to systemd-xdg-autostart-
generator?
I need to call a command with an argument, but KDE Autostart only
allows you to specify the name of an executable with no arguments.
Even
putting it in a Shell script doesn't work because although the
script
is called it immediately terminates, even though the exact same
command
when executed from the command line puts itself in the background,
which is what it's supposed to do.
After re-reading systemd.service(1) I added the line:
Type=forking
to the service file, and now the script is not being terminated,
which
is what I wanted.
IOW, this seems to be the solution, or at least *a* solution. There
may
be an alternate solution using KDE Autostart, but for now I'm
satisfied.
But of course there's always something else. After logging out, the
service is killed, which is fine, but it doesn't start again with a new
login. I assumed that user units would do this automatically, but it
seems they don't.
Maybe ignore my previous question.
I've been playing with this as well. I found that with KDE I could get a
service file to start at login by using
After=plasma-core.target in the [Unit] section and
WantedBy=plasma-core.target in the [Install] section
I don't know if there is a general way to do it for all desktops.
