Follow below steps to Create start services at startup automatically in Linux.

Run a Shell Script as Automatic Start Up Service

1. Create a Shell Script Serivce named myserviced(anyname is ok) in /etc/init.d dir

2. Add it to chkconfig

sudo /sbin/chkconfig –add myserviced

3. To check whether the serivce is sucessfully added in chkconfig

sudo /sbin/chkconfig –list myserviced

4. Set it to autostart

sudo /sbin/chkconfig myserviced on

5. Give Permissions to serivce

sudo chmod 775 myserviced

sudo chmod -x myserviced

6. To stop a service from auto starting on boot

sudo /sbin/chkconfig myserviced off

and reboot the server to check.
