There are alternatives way, to set an script on startup. Here are some example’s.
You will need root privileges for any the following.

Create a new script in /etc/init.d/linuxsource-script.sh
vi /etc/init.d/linuxsource-script.sh

#!/bin/sh
/path/to/your/linuxsource-script.sh
Make it executable.
chmod ugo+x /etc/init.d/linuxsource-script.sh
Configure the init system to run this script at startup.
update-rc.d linuxsource-script defaults
#2 – Add commands to /etc/rc.local
vi /etc/rc.local
with content like the following.
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel
/path/to/your/linuxsource-script.sh || exit 1 # Added by me
exit 0
#3 – Add an Upstart job.
Create /etc/init/your-job.conf
vi /etc/init/your-job.conf
