How to make auto login and automatic issuance of root rights for a script in Ubuntu Server 16.04?

Question

ubuntu

Good afternoon, I'm interested in two questions, in fact, how can I implement auto login under a specific user on Ubuntu Server 16.04? And how can I give Root rights to a certain script also in automatic mode?

Answer 1

And what's the point, especially on the server? If you need to periodically run the script - use cron, it indicates from which user the run is being performed. If it's a one-time thing after turning on the computer, add a script call to /etc/rc.local.
