Run following command to create new cronjob entry

$ crontab -e

It will open text editor.(For first time it will ask you to select default text editor). Add your script with @reboot keyword

@reboot /path/to/your/script.sh

Save the file. That's it.

That options are for choosing your default editor. Choose `nano`, its the easiest. – Sanket Parmar Jul 02 '14 at 06:32
i did that and what i have to do means that script path? – Kishan Bheemajiyani Jul 02 '14 at 06:35
location of your script. Assume that your script `test.sh` is in `/home/krishna/scripts/` directory then add `@reboot /home/krishna/scripts/test.sh` into your cronjob editor. – Sanket Parmar Jul 02 '14 at 06:37
i did that and now shell i go to restart pc? – Kishan Bheemajiyani Jul 02 '14 at 06:38
How did you verified? Try to add one more line `@reboot (date >> /var/tmp/reboot.txt)` and check the content of `/var/tmp/reboot.txt`. It is tested. – Sanket Parmar Jul 02 '14 at 07:03
but why add this line? – Kishan Bheemajiyani Jul 02 '14 at 07:07
