          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

          • 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.
