Run Appimage file in background in ubuntu

Navigation
0

I downloaded the cerebro application for ubuntu 16.04 but to run it I always need to open the terminal and write : 

'./cerebro-0.2.6-x86_64.AppImage'

And then the software is open but the terminal is "locked" (yes I know I can open another with CTRL + ALT + T and another flip with CTRL + SHIFT + T ).

I tried to add the task to execute when S.O is loaded in gnone-session-preferences but the application needs sudo permission to execute, therefore it generates an error.

How can I make this file .AppImage run in the background and start every time S.O starts too?

You can use upstart that is used to start applications at boot time or at certain system times: 

# Start

description "Start App"

start on (net-device-up
          and local-filesystems)
script
<caminho>/cerebro-0.2.6-x86_64.AppImage
end script

This template should answer you, you should create a file with the .conf extension and put it in the /etc/init folder.

See the documentation to learn more: link

Note : In some versions of ubuntu , upstart was disabled, to enable, just follow this tutorial: link
