Question

Start screens automatically after rebooting the server

Hello,

I was wondering how I can have some bots start automatically after boot. I have a music bot on a vps for a discord server and I was wondering how to have it start backup automatically from its directory.

I am running it in Ubuntu Ver 14

Thanks,
Joyal

What’s the command you type at the console, and where is the executable located? Once you have this info, all you usually need to do is edit the file /etc/rc.localand place it before the exit command.

    /opt/discord/bin/discord somearghere &
