Debian 9/Ubuntu 17+Add the method of rc.local startup

    3. Share to:

explain: In many cases, some programs or scripts need to be added to boot automatically. The easiest way is to use rc.local Since the system is started, many new versions of the system do not have rc.local Files, such as Debian 9 、 Ubuntu 17.10 、 Ubuntu 18.04 。 At this time, we need to set it manually.

method

1. Add rc-local.service

 #The following is a whole command, copied and run together cat > /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service <<EOF [Unit] Description=/etc/rc.local ConditionPathExists=/etc/rc.local [Service] Type=forking ExecStart=/etc/rc.local start TimeoutSec=0 StandardOutput=tty RemainAfterExit=yes SysVStartPriority=99 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target EOF

2. New rc local file

 #The following is a whole command, copied and run together cat > /etc/rc.local <<EOF #!/ bin/sh # # rc.local # # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other # value on error. # # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # bits. # # By default this script does nothing. exit 0 EOF

3. Add permissions and set the power on auto start

 chmod +x /etc/rc.local systemctl enable rc-local systemctl start rc-local.service

Inspection status:

 systemctl status rc-local.service

return Active:active Information, success.

Finally, we can /etc/rc.local The auto start command for power on is added. Remember to add exit 0 Before.

    Do not "- e" in the first line of the rc.local file, or an error will be reported during startup.

          Is your file name wrong? I just tested it with Vultr, and it's OK.

        Boss, I have followed the tutorial, but I still can't start the NPS automatically
        I edited/etc/rc.loacl with the command nano/etc/rc.loacl, as follows:
        cat > /etc/rc.local <<EOF

        !/ bin/sh -erc.localThis script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any othervalue on error. In order to enable or disable this script just change the executionbits. By default this script does nothing.

        /root/nps/./ nps start

        exit 0
        EOF
        Then I Ctrl+O and Enter, and Ctrl+X quit.
        The following commands are added:
        chmod +x /etc/rc.local
        systemctl enable rc-local
        systemctl start rc-local.service
        Then I checked with systemctl status rc-local.service. The feedback content is:
        rc-local.service - /etc/rc.local
        Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service; enabled; vendor prese
        Drop-In: /lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service. d

        Boss, can you direct which step is wrong next?
