Nothing R-specific here -- one way to execute _any_ script at bootup is (or maybe, was, as my 19.04 box longer has it) is to add it to /etc/rc.local --- as the name indicates this is (was?) for local additions. This whole complex changed a little with the changes between init.d and systemd so why knowledge may be out of date. Otherwise, you can also try the (excellent) askubuntu.com variant of stackoverflow. So I just did and a decent-looking answer spanning many release versions is https://askubuntu.com/questions/814/how-to-run-scripts-on-start-up Dirk -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Debian mailing list R-SIG-Debian@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-debian
