Hi all, I need to run a custom script at the later stage of bootup in Debian 9.5 (board is BeagleBone Black). I seem to remember "rc.local" long ago, but it's gone in the latest Ubuntu and Debian. Online search says (1) simply create "/etc/rc.local", and systemd will automatically pick it up. (2) use crontab, "@reboot ..." Which is "proper" way in Debian world? --William
William,
On my Fedora 27 laptop, placing rc.local into /etc/rc.d worked.
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
That's where it is on Slackware, too. But, I'm working with Debian 9.5 which comes with BeagleBone Black. I tried option (1), and it seems to work. -- William Park <opengeometry@yahoo.ca>
