I am trying to get a simple script to run automatically at startup. A friend told me to do this but it did not work. Could someone take a look to see what it is missing?

*(Also I am brand new to linux, so this is pretty foreign to me)

Here is what I was told to do:

In terminal

sudo nano /etc/init.d/obabp.sh

Then enter this text:

#!/bin/bash
sudo python /home/pi/gits/RPi-OBABP/src/obabp.py 

save file and then

$ sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/obabp.sh
$ sudo shutdown -r now
