Run script as root at boot

[Pacopag]

Hi. I'm wondering where to put a script that I want to run at boot. When I google it, there are several options, but many are to run script automatically at LOGIN. I want this script to run no matter who logs in.

Is the right place /etc/rc.local?

Thanks.

/etc/rc.local will run at boot after all other startup scripts are run. It will run regardless of who logs in or even if anyone logs in at all.

rc.local will work. Alternatively you can:

sudo crontab -e

This opens vi to edit the root's scheduled tasks. Append the following line:

@reboot /path/to/command

Save and exit.
