'. .bash_login'
Maybe it could be a permissions problem or a typo etc.

What next?

Thanks, will try that.

The ./ command is not necessary since the ~/tdsr/tdsr runs the program.

Then what about the command
./tdsr
or does that you suggest take care of the dot slash command?

Typing ~/tdsr/tdsr gives the direct path to the file. That way the system knows where tdsr is without you needing to cd to the directory.

Since tdsr is started by using

from within
/tdsr, how is this done using
~/tdsr/tdsr

You can try it the way you show, or just specify the path to the 'tdsr' executable like '~/tdsr/tdsr' or '/home/xxxxx/tdsr/tdsr' instead of 'cd' to the directory. Once you create the file, log out and back in to test if the TDSR starts automatically.

And do that using

Is that it?

I am not finding that file.
I am in the home directory.
Am I doing something wrong?

If 'bash' is your login shell, try adding the TDSR startup command to .bash_login in your home directory. That should avoid the problems Tim indicated when a subshell is invoked.
You may have to create that file if it doesn't exist. It is documented in the 'bash' manual page.

Maybe better to keep logging in, go to cd tdsr,

What you had written is far too advanced for me, but thank you.

Tim here. It's a little tricky because, without additional
precautions, you open a shell which launches tdsr, which opens a
shell inside of it, which launches tdsr, which opens a shell
which...you get the idea.
So there needs to be a way for a shell to determine if it's already
inside a running session of tdsr. This sort of thing is usually
done through setting an environment variable. For example, I've
done similarly with "tmux", so I have a check in my startup file
(e.g. my ~/.bashrc) that tests
[ -z "$TMUX" ] && tmux
So first you'd want to see if tdsr sets an environment variable.
The documentation might detail this, but if not, you can dump the
environment to a file before running tdsr, then run tdsr, then dump
the environment to another file and compare them, like
$ env | sort > a
$ tdsr
(tdsr)$ env | sort > b
(tdsr)$ comm -13 a b
Hopefully this will show a setting something like a "$TDSR" variable
that you can check. Then your ~/.bashrc (or whatever your startup
file is) can end with something like
[ -z "$TDSR" ] && tdsr
Because this can go unfortunately sideways, I recommend having one
window/console open, editing your ~/.bashrc and then open a *new*
window (or log in at another console) to test it. If all goes
right, yay. If things go sideways, you can quickly flip back to
the first window/console, remove that line from your ~/.bashrc, and
(re)save it. This saves you a LOT of hassle if you accidentally
create a loop like described at the top of this email.

I have fedora 35, and while in the shell I use tdsr for screen-reader.
To start it, one must use dot slash tdsr.
Is there a way to have this program start whenever logging in at shell?
