autostart python script

[The Little Guy]

I have a python script that I made, and I would like it to automatically startup when the server starts up. How can I do something like this?

If its a simple script place a call to it within /etc/rc.local or (for something more complex eg a deamon) write a proper rc script and place it within /etc/init.d (there will already be plenty of examples in there)

Thanks!

 

here is what I found:

http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Rc_script

 

I assume that is a good script to use.

It will depend on your distro but there is likely an example within /etc/{init,rc}.d or you should read some docs specific to your distro.

You can use a @reboot in roots crontab. You can also edit /etc/rc.local and add in your script there to run.
