How to run this command whenever server reboots or restarts?

| Hey.
How to run this command whenever server reboots or restarts?
I want to run a command automatically when a computer restarts or reboots.....Its a command to run my script as I have to do it manually all the time when server goes down sometime.
Is there a way to do it somehow?

| For a command or a script to get executed at the time of reboot, you can include a @reboot cronjob. The cron job will look like below.
@reboot /bin/bash /path-to/script-file

| I want it executed after the reboot, not before the reboot.....does @reboot does that?

| Yeah, @reboot executes the command once the server is up after a restart. Anyway, restarting a service before a reboot is of no point!

| Ok I have added it in crontab, hopefully it will work.
Thanks.

| Just put the command in your /etc/rc.local file

| True, this is a better way to execute a command at the time the server boots up.
