bash script at Proxmox start-up

[friendodevil]

I've put a bash script at /etc/init.d, changed in to executable but Proxmox doesn't execute it when it boots.
How can I add a command script to execute when Proxmox boots?

 

[Dunuin]

nano /etc/crontab
Then add a line like this if you want root to run a bash script after boot:
@reboot root /bin/bash /path/to/your/script.sh > /dev/null 2>&1

Thank you! What does "> /dev/null 2>&1" indicate?

It will pipe the output of that script into the void, so crontab won't send you emails each time your script echos/prints something or complains because of a warning/error.

Thank you

The reason /etc/init.d route didnt work is because Debian uses "systemd" and things are a bit more involved.
In addition to @Dunuin method you can also expand your systemd usage: https://linuxhint.com/run-script-debian-11-boot-up/
