I am trying to run a command on reboot. So that every time I restart my Ubuntu 14.04 server it should run automatically. It's a python command.



/usr/bin/python /home/shiv/workspace/CustomOpenERP/openerp-8.0/openerp-server -s -c /home/shiv/.openerp-serverrc


I kept this command in /etc/init.d/rc.local file. But it's not working. Can anyone please help?

  • keep it in /etc/rc.local or preferably in ~/.profile

At system reboot, user shiv is not logged in



Is /home/shiv mounted? Not if you have an encrypted home directory (If /home/shiv/.Private is a link to /home/.ecryptfs/shiv/.Private you do).



Move (reinstall) the software and data that you have installed underneath /home/shiv to the /usr/local tree (see man hier (hier - description of the filesystem hierarchy).

  • Do you have sudo access? Type sudo -l, and, when prompted, type YOUR LOGIN PASSWORD. If not, can you get your system administrator to help?
