Adding a startup script on Ubuntu server

This is a useful tip for my reference.? I’ve been creating some startup scripts on my Ubuntu server lately and her are a couple of steps required to get this working.

Write your startup script and place it in /etc/init.d/ directory. Let’s say you called your startup script – myScript.? You then install your script by using update-rc.d debian utility:

update-rc.d myScript defaults

Have a look at?man update-rc.d?for more info.

And finally, you have to make your file executable:

chmod +x myScript

To remove the startup script you need to run:

update-rc.d -f myScript remove
