Launch script after boot up

Tryed launching script via crontab but it wasn’t successful

@reboot (sleep 90; bash /home/admin/mouse.sh)

What I’ve found to be the easiest way to execute a script at startup is to create a startupScript.desktop file like the following and put it inside the ~/.config/autostart directory:

[Desktop Entry] Name=startupScript Terminal=false Type=Application Exec=bash path_to_your_bash_script

I think it should be

@reboot /home/admin/mouse.sh

With the sleep command in your script. Like so,

#!/bin/sh

#10 second delay
sleep 10s
#start htop in xterm
xterm -fa 'Monospace' -fs 10 -e htop

With your time delay and command of course.
