How to autostart miner in linux?

[monsanto]

I'm trying to have my miner start from a script on start up on a linux 14.04 system (I haven't been using linux very long).  I'm trying to use /etc/rc.local to run it, but nothing happens.  I think maybe because rc.local tries to run the script before everything is booted up?  I tried using "sleep" in the script to give it more time, but that didn't work either.  Any idea how to get this to work?

It's too complicated of setting up auto start in linux.. Windows is a user fiendly for miners especially win10 x64

Run
type : shell:startup
copy the file or program you want to start on startup

I am use the XUbuntu 14.04 with auto-login.

I create file at: ~/.config/autostart/start-miner.sh.desktop

it is contains:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.9.4
Type=Application
Name=miner
Comment=miner
Exec=/home/user/start-miner.sh
OnlyShowIn=XFCE;
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false

it's very easy

go to /etc/init.d
copy some file to a new filename and implement inside what you want

then go to: /etc/rc2.d, /etc/rc3.d and /etc/rc5.d
add symbolic link to your script:
ln -s ../init.d/yourscript S06yourscript

then reboot


P.S. you can see how to do it - in KopiemTu:

It's very easy to set up autostart AFTER Xwindows is running if you use the XFCE desktop.
XFCE has a specific menu to control auto-starting stuff.
