How do I run a shell command on startup on Linux?

Question

Im using WSL and want run the shell command "export DISPLAY=:0" on startup so I can use gui applications. How do I do this?

Answer 1

You can use cron job to run shell automatically, (but cron service will not auto start when startup, you can use Windows Task Scheduler to auto start cron service, or you can create a ink file %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/cron start )
