Adding a startup script to be run at bootup

So you have a script of your own that you want to run at bootup, each time you boot up. This will tell you how to do that.

Write a script. put it in the /etc/init.d/ directory > sudo cp reboot-send-email.sh /etc/init.d/
Lets say you called it reboot-send-email.sh. You then run

sudo update-rc.d reboot-send-email.sh defaults

You also have to make the file you created, reboot-send-email.sh, executable, using
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/reboot-send-email.sh

update-rc.d -f my-script.sh start 99 2 3 4 5 .

worked well.

just a note for the viewers:
my-script.sh file should be in /etc/init.d folder and you must have made it executable by doing “sudo chmod +x my-script.sh”
