Get a program to run at start up
I have Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa Cinnamon.
Currently BleachBit always runs when I start the computer. I would also like to make BitDefender Scanner run (in the background) when I start the computer. How do I do this please? |
Is that a GUI program or Cli based one ?
|
Its both, however since it is End of Life you might want to switch another scanner.

Both BitDefender and BleachBit have GUIs. I have no idea what "Cli" means.
The version of BitDefender I am using says nothing about being for business use, so perhaps the home version is still going. It updated successfully today. I spent a long time trying to get an anti-virus/malware scanner, and this the nearest I can get to one that behaves as I would expect. I used to have Sophos installed, but as well as being difficult to install I had no idea if it was actually doing anything at all, since it did not have a GUI. Based on my experience I am pessimistic about finding anything else usable. I would like to have BitDefender start to run when I turn on the computer, preferably in the background, as BleachBit does. So how do I do that please? |

crontab - @reboot

how about adding the script in or calling it from there: /etc/rc.local

What script would that be please?
