When all else fails...

crontab -e

@reboot sleep 300 && sudo ./myshell.sh

(this is actually broken on some distros)

I've been in the systemd world so long none of my systems even have cron

That sounds like a sad world. I like cron

[–] Scoopta@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago

LOL, I actually like systemd timers, cron seems easier to setup quickly but I do like some of the features of timers combined with services.

Thanks. man 5 crontab says the @reboot syntax is supported, so I’ll give that a try if I don’t stumble upon a different solution.

Why the long delay?

Just to make sure it pops off after fully starting up. I run a lot of old hardware, so it's useful for me. You may not need a delay.
