Debian 9, default installation, nothing special, just pure and simple.

I want the file

/var/www/something/check.log

to be deleted every time the system boots.

How?

create a simple script nano /home/user/boot.sh
once inside add this code

#!/bin/bash
rm /var/www/something/check.log

Save the file.
give permissions to that file chmod +x /home/user/boot.sh

now open crontab -e inside add the following line

@reboot /home/user/boot.sh

Save the cron, reboot and report feedback
