Typically user configured autostart applications are in ~/.config/autostart.

You can make a .desktop file to add new autostart applications. See the end of this answer for an example .desktop file: https://askubuntu.com/questions/48321/how-do-i-start-applications-automatically-on-login

It's not a file, it's a folder that you can add files to. See the end of this answer for an example: askubuntu.com/questions/48321/…

That is not my question. I don't want to add anything to start-up applications (by putting a .desktop file). I just want to list them through shell (terminal). in other words I want to list the exact list in the GUI form of start-up applications. Maybe redirect the content to a text file later

If you run "ls -alh ~/.config/autostart" you should see a list of applications that are autostarted.

Sorry again. Thousand thank you for your help. It appears that I don't have a directory called autostart in the first place. "No such file or directory"
