The most close Linux and Unix trick to the Windows Scheduler is Cron. In this article I will show you how to make a list of startup programs and scripts
The ideea is simple. Create a list of programs and cron it to start them at reboot.
I have created the file /home/razvan/startup_list containing the paths my startup scripts:
$ cat /home/razvan/startup_list
/home/razvan/backup_script
/home/razvan/my_script1
/home/razvan/my_script2
/home/razvan/my_script3
Set execution rights on the file:
$ chmod +x /home/razvan/startup_list
To schedule these programs at startup, type crontab -e and write this:
@reboot /home/razvan/startup_list
