one way in ubuntu :
1) set an alias for attract (so it starts directly from shell with one command)
2) Click on Ubuntu-Button (Search your computer) > Startup Applications > Add > set name > set command (see step 1))
AM Version : 2.6.1
Input : Mad Catz Brawlstick; Mouse; Keyboard; Xbox360 Wireless
Cabinet : Yes
OS : Windows10 Pro
System : Dell Precision T3500 ; Intel X5650 ; 12GB RAM

shell => linux
windows => command line

start > cmd > cd C:\attract > attract.exe
or
start > cmd > C:\attract\attract.exe
or
start > cmd /k C:\attract\attract.exe
or
create shortcut of attract.exe to desktop
or
create shortcut of attract.exe to desktop > move .lnk-file to this folder : C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
or
start > regedit > navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor > create a REG_SZ AutoRun > pushd "C:\attract"
or
create a .bat-file > insert there : C:\attract\attract.exe

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