Here’s how to set Linux to start up automatically when the computer is turned on:
- Open the terminal and log into the system with root privileges.
- Edit the /etc/rc.local file, which contains commands that need to be executed when the system starts up.
- Add the commands that need to be started at boot in the rc.local file, each command should be on a separate line.
- Save and close the rc.local file.
- Add executable permission to the rc.local file using the chmod command: chmod +x /etc/rc.local
- Restart the system to ensure that the added commands are executed automatically during startup.
