I need help adding a script to /etc/rc.local

Question

This seems simple but I can't seem to figure it out. I am trying to write a script to mount a drive on startup. the command I want to run is:

google-drive-ocamlfuse ~/gdrive

But i want it to run each time i start the computer up. I have tried to write a script and can't seem to figure it out. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

You can also add the script on startup, search for startup and add the script there. — Qasim, Dec 18 '13 at 05:14

yes i do. I also tried running it from the startup applications and it didn't work either. I imagine I wrote it wrong. I put #!/bin/bash at the top and saved it as a .sh. — frost58, Dec 18 '13 at 05:19
I figured it out. stupid mistake, forgot to change permissions. As you can tell this is new — frost58, Dec 18 '13 at 05:27

To add the script to the statup I wrote a bash script and found it with the startup applications program. My problem was changing the scripts permissions to executable before running it
