How to make a binary start itself after it's first run? [closed]

I want to automatically create some sort of "service" that does only very basic things (start a binary on system start) and it's supposed to work on most Linux distributions out there.
I want to create the service as easy as possible, ideally the binary should be able to do it itself on it's first start.

If your version of Linux supports systemd, use a systemd service with Restart set to always.

Use systemd service unit and Read the systemd man page.

You could consider using the crontab. Starting a script @reboot. This could work on any Linux flavor, but auto-restarting might be tricky.

There is no one mechanism that works on any Linux-based operating system. Not all Linux-based operating systems have backwards compatibility with van Smoorenburgrc. Arch Linux does not. Not all use systemd unit files. Void and Hyperbola do not. Nor, indeed, will services necessarily always run with the access rights that allow creation of service definitions.
