A Guide on how to set your droplet to auto start ptsminer on boot

Note: I assume you followed "bitshirehashaway" instructions to the letter. If you changed something (e.g. ptsminer install path), you might need to change some stuff.

1. First we need to edit the /etc/rc.local file in a text editor, so enter the following command in the terminal:
nano /etc/rc.local
2. In the text editor (nano), insert the following line right before the last line ("exit 0"): /usr/local/bin/launch_ptsminer.sh 60 & 
Save the file and exit the text editor (CTRL+X).

3. Now let's create the ptsminer startup script. Enter the following command:
nano /usr/local/bin/launch_ptsminer.sh
4. In the text editor paste the following text:
#!/bin/bash
DEFAULT_DELAY=0

if [ "x$1" = "x" -o "x$1" = "xnone" ]; then
   DELAY=$DEFAULT_DELAY
else
   DELAY=$1
fi

sleep $DELAY

echo "About to run ptsminer"

cd /root/ptsminer/src
./ptsminer <your PTS address> <number of threads>Replace <your PTS address> with your actual wallet address and <number of threads> with the number of cores.

Save the file and exit the text editor.

5. Run the following commands and click enter after each one:
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/launch_ptsminer.sh
chown root:root /usr/local/bin/launch_ptsminer.sh
That's it, you're done!
We configured the OS to run "launch_ptsminer.sh" 60 seconds after system boot. The "launch_ptsminer.sh" script executes the ptsminer. So go a head and try it out by restarting the system (cmd: "shutdown -r now") and then check out your process list (cmd: "top").

Thanks!

P.S.
You can use this steps to create auto run scripts for other CPU miners (just play with the last 2 lines of "launch_ptsminer.sh").
