Auto run a bash script on startup [ubuntu]

eco_bach · 09-28-2018, 08:40 PM

Ok so I've done some googling and tried one suggestion which hasn't worked

I've done a chmod 777 to the script.sh file

And then created a crontab with a @reboot command

Code:

@reboot /home/foo/02_Scripts/script.sh

as mentioned in this tutorial

Anyone have a solution that does work?

how to for systemd which I think your distro is using

How to automatically execute shell script at startup boot on systemd Linux

skip the cron, and put it in the start up area like ..rc.d/ use to be but systemd don't got that anymore, I assume.

This looks like a good place to start.

what sort of script?
does it work manually?
user script or system script?
if system, use a systemd service.
if user, use your DE's startup applications (aka autostart).
