I have a virtual machine that is PXE booted. How can I start a script to run as a background on startup without having to manually start it?
I have tried the following things, and they do not work.
- Modifying the
/etc/rc.local - Adding it to the
/etc/init.dand updating theupdate-rc.d - I cannot install any packages, so
upstartwon't be an option.
When I modify the rc.local, the virtual machine crashes. Also update-rc.d is not available.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Why you cannot install any of packages? Which form of your system image? Is it unpacked on NFS server or in image file?

Well I am a newbie so I don't really know. But I guess it's sort of a minimalisticVMkernel. It doesn't even recognizesudoorapt-getfor any reason.

Your VM machine is booting. Loader (I assume that this is pxelinux) loads kernel and initrd from TFTP servers. So Where remain system (root folder with /bin /etc ...) is located and what form of it (directory, iso image, archive)?

The root folder is present locally inside the VM only. It is a directory.

You canchrootto this directory from working system and install all needed packages. Is it appropriate solution for you?

You can
chroot to this directory from working system and install all needed packages. Is it appropriate solution for you?– Yurij Goncharuk
