One needs to use quotation marks for the options, ie. Running my script as root, which normally would happen, won't work.Is there an error in my script maybe? I guess the process'es owner has to be my_user for it to work, but I have no idea how to debug it. Adding my script to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications in Gnomeīut none of them worked.Adding to crontab -e as /home/my_user/scripts/startVNC.Adding my script to /etc/rc.local before exit 0.I checked all the generated symbolic links were there in the /etc/rcX.d/ folders. Copying my script to /etc/init.d/, calling update-rc.d -f startVNC defaults (also with 99 after defaults to make sure everything vncserver depended on is already running).So then I tried 5 things to make it run on start-up:

When I execute it when logged in over ssh as my_user vncserver starts and I am able to see the GUI from my desktop. Yields: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 406 15:45 startVNC Obviously it's only the last line that's really important. usr/bin/vncserver -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 24 # Short-Description: Start VNC server at boot time I've got a startup script that is relatively simple, ie: # BEGIN INIT INFO I've been struggling with this long enough to ask yet another startup script question.
