Start a service or execute a script on boot on Ubuntu/Fedora
I have a couple of servers with different Linux distributions (Ubuntu/Fedora) on my hands, which normally work continuously well. However, from time to time they reboot as they are hosted in a shared farm of virtual servers. It was in the first of those reboots when we noticed that neither Apache, neither MySQL servers were automatically launched on start-up, which should be the default configuration in an environment like ours.
So, I’d like to add another new trick to my the knowledge pool, which I expect to be useful for others as well: how to configure scripts and services to run after the system boots?
