In order to have a command or program run when the Pi boots, you can add commands to the rc.local file. This is especially useful if you want to be able to plug your Pi into power headless, and have it run a program without configuration or a manual start.
An alternative for scheduled task management is cron.
jedishrfu said:Yes that looks like a good solution too with the caveat that you must do what the directions say ie:
- running the command in the background
or else the Pi won't complete the boot process.

To configure Rasbian to run automatically after boot-up, you can use the "systemctl" command to enable the desired service or program. You can also add the command or script to the "rc.local" file, which will run it on every boot.
Yes, you can use the "systemctl" command to specify the order in which programs or services run after boot-up. You can also use the "rc.local" file to specify the order by adding the commands in the desired sequence.
You can use the "systemctl" command to disable a program or service from running automatically after boot-up. You can also remove the command or script from the "rc.local" file to prevent it from running on every boot.
If a program or service fails to run automatically after boot-up, you can check the logs to determine the cause of the failure. You can also try using the "systemctl" command to restart the service or troubleshoot any errors that may be preventing it from starting.
Yes, it is possible to run multiple programs or services automatically after boot-up. You can use the "systemctl" command to enable and specify the order of each program or service. Alternatively, you can add multiple commands or scripts to the "rc.local" file to run them in sequence.
