I have a rexx routine I like to run at login. A lady's voice tells me the date and time of login. I set up the command in
System Settings > Notifications > Event Source pull down > Plasma Workspace > login
Under login I enter the command:
rexx /home/rob/Dropbox/shared_rcss_complex/create_sound_file.rexx datetime loginndatetime ogg play
press Apply
when I check back again the system has changed my command to:
/home/rob/rexx rexx /home/rob/Dropbox/shared_rcss_complex/create_sound_file.rexx datetime loginndatetime ogg play

which cannot be executed as there is no rexx subdirectory under user rob. The first rexx command works fine in Konsole. Can someone suggest a way to get System Settings to leave my command alone? I am running KDE Neon 5.14 and am a refugee from Linux Mint 17.3/18.3 KDE where System Settings works just fine. In KDE Neon it wants to insert a path in front of my command.

Here's my screen in System Settings:

[img]file:///home/rob/Pictures/Screenshot_20190203_150724.png[/img]

Guess I don't know how to post a screen shot.

I cannot find where the system settings are stored. Can anyone suggest a work around?

Solved my own problem. I simply created a .sh file that calls the rexx routine to get the rexx command out of the picture.
/home/rob/Dropbox/shared_rcss_complex/create_sound_file.sh datetime loginndatetime ogg play

$ cat /home/rob/Dropbox/shared_rcss_complex/create_sound_file.sh

yields

#!/bin/sh
#echo "Creating login sound file..."
#sleep 4s
rexx $HOME/Dropbox/shared_rcss_complex/create_sound_file.rexx $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8
