[SOLVED] Need copy of autostart.sh

I'm an idiot.  I was attempting to set up dual-monitors and botched my autostart.sh, but not thinking, I forgot to make a back-up.  Anyone mind posting what is in their autostart.sh?

Re: [SOLVED] Need copy of autostart.sh

sure, here:

## Openbox autostart.sh
## ====================
## When you login to your CrunchBang Openbox session, this autostart script 
## will be executed to set-up your environment and launch any applications
## you want to run at startup.
##
## More information about this can be found at:
## http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Autostart
##
## If you do something cool with your autostart script and you think others
## could benefit from your hack, please consider sharing it at:
## http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/
##
## Have fun! :)

## Start session manager
lxsession &

## Enable power management
xfce4-power-manager &

## Start Thunar Daemon
thunar --daemon &

##Launch "wingpanel"
tint2 -c /home/case/.config/tint2/wingpanel.tint2rc &

## Enable Eyecandy - off by default, uncomment one of the commands below.
## Note: cairo-compmgr prefers a sleep delay, else it tends to produce
## odd shadows/quirks around tint2 & Conky.
#(sleep 10s && cb-compmgr --cairo-compmgr) &
cb-compmgr --xcompmgr & 

## Launch network manager applet
(sleep 4s && nm-applet) &

## Detect and configure touchpad. See 'man synclient' for more info.

fi

## Start xscreensaver
xscreensaver -no-splash &

## Start Conky after a slight delay
(sleep 3s && conky -q) &

## Start volumeicon after a slight delay
(sleep 3s && volumeicon) &

## Bad Nautilus, minimises the impact of running Nautilus under
## an Openbox session by applying some gconf settings. Safe to delete.
cb-bad-nautilus &

## The following command will set-up a keyboard map selection tool when
## running in a live session.
cb-setxkbmap-live &

## cb-fortune - have Statler say a little adage

Re: [SOLVED] Need copy of autostart.sh

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think all of the main config files like autostart.sh, menu.xml, etc, are backed up in their original version in some directory like /something/skel?

I'm not at my #! computer, but I seem to remember seeing them there after installing the "locate" terminal program and typing: "locate autostart" in the terminal.

I think it can also be found by typing something like "find -iname *autostart*" in the terminal.

And for anyone who is here looking for help setting up dual monitors,  I switched over to arandr instead of grandr.  Arandr worked, but grandr kept cutting my second screen in half.

is arandr missing any grandr features? it may be worth suggesting arandr as the distro default

Re: [SOLVED] Need copy of autostart.sh

I didn't notice anything.  Both allow you to choose resolutions for each screen, position the extended screen on any side of the primary screen you want to, and rotate the screens.  The thing that made is so easy is that Arandr actually allows you to save the settings to a #!/bin/bash shell.  I just copied that script into the autostart.sh that Mahatman2 posted for me, and everything worked perfectly.  I should check to see if everything would still be the same without editing the autostart.sh.
