Ubuntu: run script on startup?
- Thread starter C4C
- Start date
Sure is.
Easiest is to use an existing init.d script (i.e. I didn't write this, though you could it's easy enough), like below

Directions
- Move the script in the following directory: /etc/init.d/
- Change owner and group of script: chown root:root /etc/init.d/ts3server
- Execute the script for installing itself: bash /etc/init.d/ts3server --install
- Open the 'ts3server' startup script with your favorite editor - for example with nano: nano /etc/init.d/ts3server
- Fill out the "System Informations": USER, ROOT_DIRECTORY, DELETE_LOGS
- Save and close the file
Code:
#!/bin/bash
