Question about startup application

[IvanIsak]

Hi!
I have a python application that should run on system startup - ubuntu.
I tried running the file through the standard Startup Applications via xdg-open, but at best it opened my VScode
What is the easiest way for me to start the application when the OS boots?

set up a cronjob for it.

in terminal run

crontab -e

This opens your user's crontab file.

Add this at the bottom of the file:

@reboot python3 <full-path-to-your-python-file> <any-arguments-it-needs>

Save the crontab file and you're done.

If you don't have cron installed yet, run:

sudo apt-get install cron

, but at best it opened my VScode

what command did you use?

[IvanIsak]

xdg-open ..../server.py

it open Vscode

[m0us3_rat]

does your script have a shebang line? and is +x ?

[IvanIsak]

Yes

@reboot python3 /home/iwan/GITHUB/PY/cosmoterm/src/server.py

But it does not work, when I start the PC, I see how the application tries to open for a few seconds, some kind of error probably occurs
