Where can I put settings that are run with root and last from start of OS till it shuts down?

One requirement is that when I suspend/hibernate my Ubuntu 12.04 and wake it up, the settings should not be changed again.

For example, I would like to set the cpu frequency and the battery charge range. What commands can i put into the files you recommend for the above question?

  • Is there any particular command that you are trying to run? The only way I could think of is using a `watch` command inside `/etc/rc.d`. – Ramesh Oct 19 '14 at 16:51

  • Suspend systems usually have hooks where you can attach whatever you like - check documentation from your suspend system (probably `pm-utils`?). – peterph Oct 19 '14 at 16:59
  • `rc.local` can be used but not best practice also if ubuntu still uses upstart make a `foo.conf` file in `init.d` – jgr208 Oct 19 '14 at 17:34
  • why is rc.local not best practice? @jgr208 – Tim Oct 19 '14 at 21:32
  • @Tim I am not sure but my one co worker who has been in industry for 15+ years with embedded and linux system said when I did that on one part of our project that it isn't. – jgr208 Oct 19 '14 at 21:38
