Run Script after X server startup

I have a RHEL Server 7.6 VM with Horizon Agent for Linux 2106 installed, it is possibile to run a custom script after login or after X session is started? I try with .xinitrc and .xsession but seems that this script were ignored. Dedicated X Server was started from Horizon script /usr/lib/vmware/viewagent/bin/StartXServer.sh, in the same directory there some other scripts like PostLogin.sh and PostLogout.sh can I use this?

It depends.
If your script intends to run under the logged-in user you can try it with /etc/xdg/autostart/ or PostLogin.sh.
If your script intends to run under root and before user login or right after greeter started, you can investigate in GDM's auto-start mechanism by looking at below directory/file and links.

 

ls /etc/gdm/{Init,P{ost{Login,Session},reSession}}
/usr/share/gdm/autostart/
/usr/share/gdm/greeter/autostart/
