The script works nicely when run from terminal, thanks. However, I can't seem to get it to autostart. I tried in both ~/.kde/Autostart/ and ~/.kde4/Autostart/, made it executable. I even tried to get it to autorun with crontab and with systemd timer with no luck.

Added on top of script:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 5
export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"

And added to autostart scripts via KDE System-Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Autostart -> Add Script. Works fine! (on Kubuntu 18.04)
