Is there a way to run a .sh script ONCE when I boot? I know about the init.d folders, but there seems to be some weird special layout you must use for scripts there.

I only want to run two quick lines of code, nothing huge. I'm running the latest Raspbian.

Any tips?

  • I don't know if it works in Raspbian, but some crontabs allow you to specify time as @reboot.

This is NOT standard compliant, but it works:

Create a new file in /etc/init.d -->

#!/bin/bash
case "$1" in
start)
    yourcodehere 
    ;;
esac

exit 0

then set the executable bit and remove all other permissions: chmod 700 /etc/init.d/filename

and then configure your service to autostart: update-rc.d filename defaults
