Run script after connection and after disconnection

[respz]

Can I run a script (or list of scripts) on the host after a succesful connection and after disconnection? At first, I want to disable the wallpaper and restablish it after I disconnect. Later, I plan to add a few more things.

I did manage to run the scripts I wanted, at least I could see them in the logs. I am running a gsettings command to remove the wallpaper on connection. When I run the script from the command line, it works, but it doesn’t when it is run from the nomachine’s UserScriptAfterSessionStart. I tryd running on the node.cfg and also server.cfg.

Can you show us the script?

Sorry for the delayed response. I found out what is happening.

I have 2 scripts, namely: afterlogin.sh and afterlogout.sh.

afterlogin contains:

#!/bin/bash

gsettings set org.mate.background picture-filename ”

The problem is that it is run under user nx instead of the logged user. So it cannot get the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS variable from the current gnome session to change the background.

Is there a way to run scripts as the current logged user, instead of user nx?

Please just add your scripts in the node.cfg file, and it will be executed with current logged user.
