    This has nothing to do with c++. Just configure the executable generated from the c++ source in your inittab. – user0042 Oct 29 '17 at 05:19

If you are looking for a solution that works on bootup to the console, take a look at this link. Basic rundown:

Create a file for your startup script and write your script in the file:

$ sudo nano /etc/init.d/superscript

Save and exit: Ctrl+X, Y, Enter

Make the script executable:

$ sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/superscript

Register script to be run at startup:

$ sudo update-rc.d supersc
