Autostart
Blinkenshell now offers a way for you to autostart programs when the system boots. You can use this to start your screen with irssi as soon as the system boots, so you won't miss any conversations on IRC after a reboot for example.
It's very easy to use, you create a file named .autostart in your home directory and make it executable. This file will then be executed with your user privileges when the system boots. Any output (stdout and stderr) from the script is redirected to ~/.autostart.out
Here is an example that starts a screen (in detached mode) and runs irssi in it:
screen -S auto -d -m irssi
Remember to give the script executable permission: chmod u+x ~/.autostart
