How to Add Scripts to Ubuntu's Autostart?

[helgehelge123]

Hey guys,
I'm trying to setup a few CSGO server and the first server is working but it won't start after linux reboots.

Can somebody explain a simple way to add the .sh script to the autostart?

 

I'm a total noob btw, my knowledge only reaches cd, mkdir command and stuff like that.

 

The server is running Ubuntu 18.04 and I've got a gui.

 

Please help

 

cd /
cd /home/comp/
./srcds_run -game csgo -console -usercon +game_type 0 +game_mode 1 +mapgroup mg_active +map de_dust2 -port 27050 -tickrate 128

This is the code, btw

#!/bin/bash
cd /home/comp/
./srcds_run -game csgo -console -usercon +game_type 0 +game_mode 1 +mapgroup mg_active +map de_dust2 -port 27050 -tickrate 128

Save this as e.g. /home/comp/runcs.sh and make it executable (on the command-line, you'd make it executable with chmod ugoa+x runcs.sh), then run crontab -e, and at the bottom add @reboot /home/comp/runcs.sh

 

Explanation: cron is a program that basically executes stuff at certain times, crontab -e allows you to add or remove things for it to run. @reboot tells cron to run the following command when the PC has finished booting up, so your CS-script will run then.

i'm pretty sure i'm doing somthing wrong when I try to save the crontab -e
i'm getting this error: E37: No write since last change (add ! tp override)

 

How do I save and quit the nano file editor? ctrl o and ctrl x don't seem to work for me.

 

I'm really new to ubuntu and the terminal. Please give me detailed steps

 

edit: missspelled nano

Looks like it defaults to vi; press i to be able to edit, esc to quit the mode, then do :wq to save and quit

 

Or to use nano you can run: EDITOR=nano crontab -e

What is :wq?

It's a vi command, simply type that when you're out of the insert mode then press enter

The proper way to do this is using systemd service but whatever, cron will still do the job... Nevertheless is part of systemd anyway
