@snupello
one way in ubuntu :
1) set an alias for attract (so it starts directly from shell with one command (http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=816.msg6344#msg6344))
2) Click on Ubuntu-Button (Search your computer) > Startup Applications > Add > set name > set command (see step 1))

yes but cant shell AM directly. You need too shell another exe that calls am
