I am trying to run a script at startup, for that i added a script in Init.d and created a link using command "update-rc.d script_name defaults" But when i restart the system i got only black screen. What can be the fault i am facing?
#!/bin/sh
#/etc/init.d/hello.sh
#
clear
echo "Hello $USER"
echo "Today is \c ";date
echo "Number of user login : \c" ; who | wc -l
echo "Calendar"
cal
As the SysV has been replaced by Upstart you should create a Upstart script for your task.
At first create a file in /etc/init/ directory, the filename must end in .conf. So, lets say the filename in your case is check_script.conf.
For your case the check_script.conf should have the following entries:
description 'Running script_name at startup'
start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [016]
script
exec /full/path/to/script_name
end script
