I hope that helped

Clean way to launch the web browser from shell script?

#!/bin/bash
URL=$1
[[ -x $BROWSER ]] && exec "$BROWSER" "$URL"
path=$(which xdg-open || which gnome-open) && exec "$path" "$URL"
echo "Can't find browser"

To run a script in Ubuntu at start up see the following link.

http://upstart.ubuntu.com/getting-started.html

As for the script to open a browser there are many ways of doing this, use the one that works for you. Replace the url with the IP that you want to open.

#/usr/bin/env bash

if [ -n $BROWSER ]; then
  $BROWSER 'http://wwww.google.com'
elif which xdg-open > /dev/null; then
  xdg-open 'http://wwww.google.com'
elif which gnome-open > /dev/null; then
  gnome-open 'http://wwww.google.com'
# elif bla bla bla...
else
  echo "Could not detect the web browser to use."
fi

  • When the computer boots, it runs some startup scripts, but this is before there is a user logged in to an X11 session. Probably you should hook this into your personal X11 session startup, not the system's boot scripts. – tripleee Mar 28 '14 at 06:12
