I would like to share with you a simple way to execute commands on startup in Ubuntu. This tip is very useful for example I have an issue on the Netatalk service that do not run properly so every time I have to run the command to restart the service after I login to Ubuntu.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;padding:0px 0px 15px;color:rgb(85,85,85);font-family:Arial,Tahoma,Verdana;font-size:12px;line-height:20px">All commands that you need to be executed must be stored in etc/rc.local setting. Open terminal then execute this command:</p>

sudo nano /etc/rc.local</pre><p style="margin:0px;padding:0px 0px 15px;color:rgb(85,85,85);font-family:Arial,Tahoma,Verdana;font-size:12px;line-height:20px">Add the following command to restart Netatalk service, right before “<code>exit 0"</code>:</p>
