How to make sudo remember my password and how to add an application to startup

I have lampp installed on my Ubuntu 12.04 Everything works very fine and now I would like to start the lampp-server on startup.

I have a startlampp.sh script with this:

cd /opt/lampp
sudo ./lampp start

code in it. It is enabled for execution and when I run it in terminal I am asked for the password and finally it starts lampp.

Can I include the password in the script that it runs on startup?

Greetings philipp

You can edit the rc.local file to auto start lampp.

use root login and edit /etc/rc.local file and add line /opt/lampp/lampp start to end of the file.

Reboot the machine and you can check the status of the lampp using /opt/lampp/lampp status

Hope this helps you!

/etc/rc does not exist. Should I make it? – philipp Aug 15 '12 at 12:04
check etc/rc.local if you don't find it then please refer this link – devav2 Aug 15 '12 at 17:13
It works for me. Just put /opt/lampp/lampp start before exit 0 of rc.local file – Kabir Hossain Sep 23 '16 at 09:17
