Hello everyone,

How do i run a script everytime i start the computer? Whenever i start bash, .bashrc will be executed, is there any such script so that i can append my script to that file so that it runs everytime i start the computer?

On most distros you an put

@reboot /path/to/script_file

in crontab

/etc/rc.local is the place. It runs on every boot. Just put in the path above exit 0.
