Launching AttractMode on Startup with Ubunto

[Bsoder52]

I'm trying to get Ubunto to launch Attract mode upon start-up as I'm looking to use this application for a dedicated arcade game cabinet.  I can get into the "Startup Applications Preferences" screen, and I put "attractmode" in both the the name and the command areas, (no quotes), and add that as an option to the additional startup programs menu...but it doesn't launch attract mode when I restart my machine. 

I think I'm close but must be doing something wrong?

In order to do that takes a little tweaking. I'll get back to you after I find my set up..and remember how to do it. It can be done
