Topic: delayed launch on startup

I have one program which needs to be connected to the internet on startup, or else it will fail. I tried the autostart.sh but it tries to launch the program because the wireless connection is established. Could I fix this just with a sleep/wait command or would that not work?

Re: delayed launch on startup

yes

in autostart.sh

(sleep 10s && app_you_want_to_run) &

will sleep for 10 seconds before running that command, without holding up the loading of other apps
