Hello,

I want to know how to automatically run a script after user login.
I placed my script at the /etc/profile. d/ , but it did not run

Do you want to make a daemon or a script in bash?
As in Bash, use /etc/crontab

# Rotate log files every hour, if necessary.
0       *       *       *       *       root    newsyslog
#
# Perform daily/weekly/monthly maintenance.
1       3       *       *       *       root    periodic daily
15      4       *       *       6       root    periodic weekly
30      5       1       *       *       root    periodic monthly
#
# Adjust the time zone if the CMOS clock keeps local time, as opposed to
# UTC time.  See adjkerntz(8) for details.
1,31    0-5     *       *       *       root    adjkerntz -a

@reboot root /bin/sh /root/syncthing.sh

Where /root/syncthing.sh - is your bash script.

What shell? How file is named? How does user log in?

I placed my script at the /etc/profile. d/

Is only valid for the Bourne shells, i.e. sh(1) and bash(1).

I added a command in /etc/csh.login and it executed after login

You can use ~/.ssh/rc or /etc/ssh/sshrc to execute script in user shell independent way.

man 8 sshd
man 5 sshd_config

Enjoy.

If you're logging into a default installation the default shell is set to /bin/csh which means that ~/.login is executed instead of ~/.profile.
