Launch a python program when power on

[zocalo]

Hi,

I have made a simple program (water.py) to water my plants when I am away from home.

Currently, to launch it I need to type in the terminal:
python water.py

It works very well, but I would like to launch the program automatically when I power on the raspberry pi.

Can anyone give me a simple solution? I imagine I should add the command to a file that launches at start up...


Thanks,

Zócalo

ps- (I have managed to remove any login at start up)

Hmmm... let's google that; https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site: ... 7Qb584H4DA

One method from the RasPi documentation: http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentatio ... c-local.md
