Set up the script to run automatically on boot. Use the cd command to navigate to your script folder and add it to the system start menu. For Ubuntu, you can create a shortcut or use a launch manager. Since you're using a GUI, make sure the path is correct and the file exists. The command you provided should work if placed in the right directory.

This script sets up a scheduled task using crontab that runs a game configuration file at startup. It configures the console, user permissions, and game settings before launching the program. The file is saved as a script in the specified directory and made executable via command-line tools like chmod. After defining the schedule, it adds a reboot hook to ensure the script executes upon system boot.

Open the crontab file with nano by typing `nano ~/.crontab`. Follow these steps carefully: press `Ctrl + O` to save changes, then `Enter` to confirm. To exit without saving, type `Ctrl + X` and press `Y`. If you see the error about no write since last change, add `! tp override` at the end of the file before saving. Don’t use Ctrl+O or Ctrl+X unless needed.

It seems to set up a default behavior. You can adjust it by pressing i for edits, esc to exit mode, then :wq to save and leave. For nano, run EDITOR=nano crontab -e

Run the command directly in vi, exit insert mode and hit enter.

The best approach is leveraging systemd services, though cron can still accomplish the task... Still, it remains part of systemd in any case.
