I have a program that I run on amazon EC2 and I would like to set it up in a way so that when I boot a new EC2 instance it starts the program and sets itself up without any input from me.
How could i do this?
The program is a java .jar file.
Assuming you are booting the machine from an AMI with java installed and the program in a particular directory, you can have the command to start the program (jar -jar … ) in somefile like /etc/rc.local.
