StartupSpy 🚀

StartupSpy is a handy Bash script that provides a comprehensive overview of startup and initialization files, services, and configurations on a Linux system. It's a valuable tool for both Linux administrators and enthusiasts who want to gain insights into what's happening under the hood during system startup.

Features

📂 Checks user-specific and system-wide startup files
🤖 Examines autostart directories for user and system applications
🖥️ Investigates X session-related files and configurations
🧰 Inspects systemd services, timers, and user-specific systemd units
🚌 Monitors D-Bus services for added functionality
⚙️ Scans init.d scripts and runlevel directories
⏰ Reviews cron jobs for both users and the root
🔄 Checks anacrontab for periodic tasks
🔒 Investigates PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) configurations
💼 Explores SDDM (Simple Desktop Display Manager) configurations
🎨 Dives into LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment) autostart configurations

Usage

To run the Startup Spy script, simply execute it in your terminal. You can use the -i flag for interactive mode, which pauses after each section for user input.

./startupspy.sh

For interactive mode:

./startupspy.sh -i

Note: Some sections may require superuser privileges, so you may be prompted for your password during execution.
