How to Run Commands Automatically at Linux System Boot Up
If you always have to manually run a command at every system bootup, do it no more! This article will show you how to automatically run anything at system bootup by adding the execution commands to the /etc/rc.local script.
1. Establish a SSH connection and login as root.
2. Open up /etc/rc.local with your favorite command line text editor. In this example, I will use ‘nano’.
nano /etc/rc.local
3. Write the code on the very top.
4. Save with Ctrl+O and Exit nano with Ctrl+W
That is it; reboot your server to test it.
