Hi,
Ho do I run a script when my linux PC starts up.
I want to run a script that check some url's when my pc boots.
But it has to be done after the network is setup.
Thanks

On my gentoo box I use
Local should run on start up by default and executes as the last thing.
Just add a line with the command to execute,
or the path to the script to execute.

To start a script at boot in ubuntu,
you can add a line in
You can also create a service, but that perhaps overkill.
The quick and dirty way to create a service:
- 1- create a file under init.d :
2- put your command lines/script in the file & save it
3- make the file executable : Code: Select all
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/new_script
4- make it run on boot : Code: Select all
sudo update-rc.d new_script defaults
