Run Appimage background file on Ubuntu

Asked

I downloaded the application cerebro for Ubuntu 16.04 but to run it I always need to open the terminal and write:

`./cerebro-0.2.6-x86_64.AppImage`

And then the software is opened but the terminal is "locked" (yes I know I can open another with CTRL + ALT + T and another flap with CTRL + SHIFT + T).

I tried to add the task to run when the S.O is charged in gnone-session-preferences but the application needs permission sudo to be executed, so this generates an error.

How can I make this file .AppImage run in the background and start every time S.O was also initiated?

You can use the upstart which is used to boot applications or at certain times of the system: 

# Start

description "Start App"

start on (net-device-up
          and local-filesystems)
script
<caminho>/cerebro-0.2.6-x86_64.AppImage
end script

This template should suit you, you should create a file with extension .conf and put it in the folder /etc/init.

See documentation to learn more : http://upstart.ubuntu.com/getting-started.html

Note: In some versions of ubuntu, the upstart if disabled, to enable, just follow this tutorial: https://www.maketecheasier.com/re-enable-upstart-ubuntu/
