Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Will Chkconfig works for normal user apart from root user Post 302980369 by Corona688 on Friday 26th of August 2016 11:10:10 AM

chkconfig is for system services.

For scripts to be run as a normal user, I suggest the user's crontab, with the line @reboot /path/to/script.sh

Beware that cron's environment is intentionally minimal, your script may need to set its own fuller PATH or . /etc/profile before it does anything else or it might not find the commands it needs.
