How to add a Python script to autoload?

Question

Python

You need to add the script to autoload. I tried this:
1. chmod +x script.py
2. Moved the script to /etc/init.d/
3. update-rc.d script.py start 99 2 3 4 5. stop 1 0 1 6.
But for some reason it doesn't out. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

So are links created to it in rc directories?
Maybe they forgot to specify #!/usr/bin/env python at the beginning of the script?
Or does it run but an error occurs in the code?
You can push it into rc.local or add it with defaults instead of exact instructions.

Answer 2

When my sort of debugged script didn't run from rc.local or from cron, often the problem was
1. $PATH different from the one with which the script was tested
2. Other environment variables may be different, which can lead to inoperability
3. Using relative paths in mcrypt instead of absolute. At the same time, the script does not find the files necessary for work and drops out

Answer 3

you can just register in cron with @reboot tag

Answer 4

create a .sh script with the contents then autoload it
#!/bin/sh
python /path/to/script.py

Answer 5

#!/usr/bin/python

Answer 6

In /etc/rc.local a line like:
/usr/bin/python file.py
