I am using a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian to power a reception screen, which is just a simple web page running fullscreen.
I would like this screen to load whenever the machine is booted, so that if the machine is reset after a powercut etc it will automatically load back up again.
How do I go about setting the web browser (Chromium) to load on bootup?
The easiest answer would probably be a cron job with a @reboot flag.
Run the command: crontab -e and at the bottom add @reboot my important command here.
If you're looking at something more complex you'll definitely want to look at creating a full on init script, but for your purposes I think cron should be good enough.
