Trying to create startup script

validator456 · 12-31-2017, 01:56 AM

I have been trying to create a startup script called startup.sh.
The script itself is very simple

Quote:

#!bin/bash

echo "The date of today";date

Easy enough, execpt that it doesn't work. Placed the script in: /etc/init.d./

I ran the command: sudo chmod +x startup.sh.

And rebooted: sudo reboot now. And nothing happens....

Should be simple. Can anyone help me out?

Probably you didn't add your script to any runlevel, so it doesn't start?

init.d just holds the scripts. You have to add symlinks to the run level you want it to execute in. https://shabirimam.wordpress.com/200...p-or-shutdown/

Yes, I didn't do that. I will give it a try.
