Hi Santhosh Kumar,

If your system has /etc/inittab, try adding a line in it.

What the Linux /etc/inittab file tells your system to do | Network World

Hi Karan,

inittab is not found in my rfs, I tried as per this link also  cron - Running command at startup on crontab - Ask Ubuntu 

I placed the command sudo sh /home/root/startupscript.sh in /etc/rc.local before the exit 0 line

But things didn't work. it didn't execute the startupscript at all

Any other alternative..

edited the  /etc/rc.local file and added the below line before the exit(0)

cd /home/root/

sh startupscript.sh
