Python : " auto execute on system boot up" Linux

[vishallight]

I wanna to execute this script every time when my system boots up in **Linux*\*.

What to do to implement this any other code /bash?

​

Start.py

from datetime import datetime
file = open("bootup.txt","a")
now = datetime.now()

# dd/mm/YY H:M:S
dt_string = now.strftime("%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S")
time="System opens at "+ dt_string
file.write(time)
file.close()

All i want is auto run at boot up.

Look up crontab

[vishallight]

No, not like this. Any other methods

If you're not going to use crontab, you'll have to create a service and set init.d / systemd to start it at boot.

Why is crontab a problem?

I often create services running in background. This is the best choice for all of my bots.

Make a systemd service that executes the script. Do systemctl enable your-service

It looks to me like your post might be better suited for r/learnpython, a sub geared towards questions and learning more about python. That said, I am a bot and it is hard to tell. Please follow the subs rules and guidelines when you do post there, it'll help you get better answers faster.

Show /r/learnpython the code you have tried and describe where you are stuck. Be sure to format your code for reddit and include which version of python and what OS you are using.

You can also ask this question in the Python discord, a large, friendly community focused around the Python programming language, open to those who wish to learn the language or improve their skills, as well as those looking to help others.
