I want to delay start an service on boot. Ubuntu Server 15.10
I've created the file /startup-tvheadend.sh (chmod +x)
#!/bin/bash sleep 20 && service tvheadend start;
Then in crontab -e
@reboot /startup-tvheadend.sh
Running the script as sudo works but not when I reboot the computer.
I've disabled the default auto start after installation.
kidkic@TvHeadEnd:~$ systemctl status tvheadend ● tvheadend.service - (null) Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/tvheadend) Active: inactive (dead) Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)

instead of upstart'sservice
command to start this service:
