How to make the .sh file should be in running state always

I'm new to shell scripting, i want the command to be in running always. My .sh file - startscrapy.sh

#!/bin/bash 
echo "Scrapyd is  started now"
scrapyd

i have changed the permission also chmod +x etc/init.d/startscrapy.sh

I have placed this file in etc/init.d but it is not working. My understanding as of now " the location etc/init.d is to run the .sh files whenever the server or system boots up but i want my .sh file to be running state always.

Solution

  • Using crontab you can easily auto start any scripts in ubuntu.
    Please do the following steps,

    1. Run the command crontab -e so that you can edit the crontab.
    2. Now add the following line to the crontab editor @reboot sudo <script> in your case it should be @reboot sudo scrapyd.
    3. Now reboot your system, then you will find scrapyd running.

    Hope it Helps.
