How to add a program to the startup directory in Linux?

To add a program to the startup directory of a Linux system, follow these steps:

1. Open the terminal window.
2. Open the file /etc/rc.local using a text editor such as vi or nano.

sudo vi /etc/rc.local

1. Can you please paraphrase the following in English?

/path/to/myprogram

1. Save and close the file. In the vi editor, you can press the Esc key and then type :wq to save and exit.
2. Grant execute permission to the rc.local file.

sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local

1. Restart the system to apply the changes.

sudo reboot

After completing the above steps, the program will automatically run at system startup. If you want to remove the program’s auto-start, simply edit the /etc/rc.local file and delete the corresponding command.
