Have you read Thagrol's document?
Yes. I followed the auto start ".desktop" method since it said that fit my use case. My command was "lxterminal -e /home/path/to/script". I also found a "Execute in terminal" option in properties so I enabled that.

It still doesn't work, no terminal window on login and I don't think there was anything in the task manager. The script works for the most part if I run it manually: on the cd path command, the quotes are ignored but the script continues with errors. It uses inotifywait to watch a folder continuously so it stays open.
