How to run programms automatically at boot up in beaglebone black

[Ahmad Fatehi]

Hello, I have three programms that should be run after booting up the beagle bone black. But now I want these programms run automatically after boot up. I use debian, I made a script that contained 3 commands to run that 3 programms but What should I do so as this script runs automatically after boot up?!

You should provide info on your Debian version, in oder to get matching input. Ie. post output from command

uname -a

Hello. I used PM2 to do what you described and it worked very well. There's also "Forever" that is recommended by the community, but I think PM2 is more complete.
