I would like to make it so a terminal command runs every time I start up my computer, but the command I want to run requires root permissions. I enter in the command in the start up applications part of settings with sudo before it, but since it requires my password I don't think it is running.
how to run a custom command start up application as root
linux mint;terminal;sudo;startup;command

You can schedule jobs to run every time the system starts up.As root, enter crontab -e to edit the cron table, which is just the list of scheduled tasks. Then use the @reboot nickname (instead of the normal timing syntax) to make a job that runs on every startup:@reboot your_command
