Running a script on startup on Arago

Hugo Santana

I am using SGI EVM Board (http://www.ti.com/tool/tmdssgi-evml138) with the Linux distribution that comes with it. It is call Arago Project.

I would like to run the prime_dc program on startup. I already created the script that runs the program, but I am not sure how to make it run on start up.

Any detailed instructions would be great as I do not want to cause problems on the OS.

Thanks

Hi Hugo,

Here is some info on Debian based systems runlevels and init scripts:

https://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28

https://wiki.debian.org/RunLevel

Here are the steps you need to follow:

1. Add the script to the /etc/init.d/ directory.
2. Make it executable.
3. Update the runtime control with the following command:

sudo update-rc.d <script_name> defaults

This will add the needed symbolic links to the /etc/rc#.d/ (runtime control) directories.

4. Remove it with:

sudo update-rc.d -f <script_name> remove

Best regards,
Miroslav
