Need to run a .sh as root on boot or login
- by Graymayre
Still new with linux and running ubuntu 12.10
I have a wireless stick (ae2500) which has known issues that has been partially solved using ndiswrapper. However, to use it I must run the same scripts every time I reboot, effectively uninstalling and reinstalling the driver. I made a .sh file to run every time to make it easy, but I must do the sudo login everytime.
There are three solutions I am looking for and although not all are necessary to solve this particular problem, I would still like to know them all for learning purposes.
run scripts or file.sh on boot (as well as other programs)
run scripts or file.sh automatically with root privileges
make the install permanent so as not to have to go through the process every time.
Any additional information that can help me regarding this that I did not think to ask (including streamlining my commands), or general knowledge, would be greatly appreciated.
Following are the contents of the file. I pretty much just made it as I would have entered it.
cd ~/ndiswrapper-1.58rc1
sudo modprobe -rf ndiswrapper
sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf
sudo rm -r /etc/ndiswrapper/*
sudo depmod -a
sudo make uninstall
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwlhigh5.inf
ndiswrapper -l
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
