I want to automate my application to run on server reboot,

following my code for adding shell script to crontab.

# m h  dom mon dow   command
@reboot sh ~/start.sh

start.sh contains running the django application

logs are :

(CRON) INFO (pidfile fd = 3)
(CRON) INFO (Running @reboot jobs)
(root) CMD (/home/shiva/start.sh)
(shiva) CMD (sh ~/start.sh)
(CRON) info (No MTA installed, discarding output)

Cron is clearly working,and trying to tell you about a problem with your script. Redirect the output to a file to read the error message. – user535733 Feb 21 '17 at 13:35
