How to run a script at start-up on a Raspberry Pi using crontab #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
via RaspberryPi.org
While there are many ways of asking your Raspberry Pi to run a script on start-up, crontab -e is definitely one of the easiest.
AND, as Estefannie explains (in part thanks to me bugging asking her to do so), if you create a run folder on your desktop, you can switch out the Python scripts you want to run at start-up whenever you like and will never have to edit crontab again!
Weeeeee!
Now go write some wonderful and inspiring festive scripts while I take a well-earned nap. I just got off a plane yet here I am, writing blog posts for y’all because I love you THAT DARN MUCH!
