I would suggest that you read the latest Desktop Entry Specification. On the page Recognized desktop entry keys you will find out that there is no key 'ServerExec'.
Hello!
How do I get a script to execute on boot in a persistent usb knoppix install?
I tried this, but it didn't work:
...but there's no /tmp/test directory on boot :\Code:knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ cat /home/knoppix/.config/autostart/startup.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=Startup ServerExec="/bin/mkdir /tmp/test" Icon= Type=Application
more info about my setup:
Code:knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ uname -a Linux Microknoppix 3.9.6 #25 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jun 15 15:27:01 CEST 2013 i686 GNU/Linux

Thanks for your fast response!
I updated the "ServerExec" line to "Exec" as per the link you provided, but there's still no /tmp/test file getting created on boot.
If there's errors with processing .config/autostart/* files, is there anywhere these errors will be logged so I can check for messages?Code:knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ cat .config/autostart/startup.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=Startup Exec="/bin/mkdir /tmp/external" Icon= Type=Application
The first desktop file will create a new directory /tmp/testdir if it does not already exist.The second desktop file will create an empty file /tmp/testfile if it does not already exist.Code:knoppix@Knoppix720cd:~$ cat /home/knoppix/.config/autostart/mkTestdir.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=mkTestdir Exec=/bin/mkdir -p /tmp/testdir Terminal=false Type=Application
Code:knoppix@Knoppix720cd:~$ cat /home/knoppix/.config/autostart/mkTestfile.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=mkTestfile Exec=/usr/bin/touch /tmp/testfile Terminal=false Type=Application
