being new to the technology kindly correct if i m wrong.
does running the script means putting & at the end of script name.
Running the script: you can simply put the script (path + name + arguments) on a single line. Your local.rc could look like this
If you do that, the script will be called during boot (at the end actually), and your system startup will only be completed once your own startup script has finished (rc.local will wait for the script to complete before continuing).
If startup_1.sh takes a long time, then you may want to run it in the background - *that* is when you add the '&', like
Then the rc.local script will just start the script, and cotinue on w/o waiting for it to finish. But that also means that, once your system is up, you can't rely on that your script has done all its work.
