Yes it is possible but you need to create systemd service which will start your script during boot of system

do_install () {
install -d ${D}${systemd_unitdir}/system/
install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/autorun.service ${D}${systemd_unitdir}/system
install -d ${D}/${libexecdir}
install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/autorun.sh ${D}/${libexecdir}
}
FILES_${PN} += "${libexecdir}"
FILES_${PN} += "${systemd_system_unitdir}"
REQUIRED_DISTRO_FEATURES= "systemd"
```
and .service file is below:
```auto

Please try to look in this post (there is example systemd service file):
[https://community.nxp.com/thread/472820](https://community.nxp.com/thread/472820)
Also please if you copy code add “```” at the beginning and the end of sentence to be better readable. Thanks.

Simple bb recipe which should install stuff should look like this:
```auto
LICENSE="CLOSED"
SRC_URI = "file://dl-mgr.sh \
file://dl-mgr.service \
"
inherit systemd
SYSTEMD_SERVICE_${PN} = "dl-mgr.service"
FILES_${PN} = " ${systemd_unitdir}/system/dl-mgr.service ${sbindir}/dl-mgr/sh"
do_install() {
install -d ${D}/${sbindir}
install -m 0755 dl-mgr.sh ${D}/${sbindir}
install -d ${D}${systemd_unitdir}/system
install -c -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/dl-mgr.service ${D}${systemd_unitdir}/system
}
```
and service file should look like:
```auto
[Unit]
Description=Test service
StartLimitIntervalSec=0
[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=1
WorkingDirectory=/usr/sbin
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/dl-mgr.sh start
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
if you have it integrated be sure that files are installed in final rootfs. If you still have an issue pls share systemctl status dl-mgr.service Thanks.

@MarekBelisko: I am not getting any output and file directory in :"/sources/poky/meta/recips-core/dl-mgr/ " is this correct???
This is systemctl status:
```
**@osboxes:~/yoctorpi/mender-raspberrypi/build$ systemctl status dl-mgr.service
Failed to issue method call: No such interface 'org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties' on object at path /org/freedesktop/systemd1/unit/dl_2dmgr_2eservice
**
```
And my dl-mgr.sh file:
**#!/bin/sh
logger “starting initscript”
echo "_WEL-COME_**\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*"
echo “!!!THANK YOU!!!”
logger “initscript work done”
systemctl disable dl-mgr.service
logger “initscript disabled”``\*\*

Does final rootfs on device contains:
ls /lib/systemd/system/dl-mgr.service and also ls /usr/sbin/dl-mgr.sh
Pls update dl-mgr.sh to contains only some echo commands.
Also pls run `systemctl status dl-mgr.service` on board not on hostpc. Are you sure that dl-mgr recipe is added to your final image?

@ram_zi sorry but I think this is out of scope of this forum which should focus mostly on mender related topics. I suggest to ask questions related to yocto on yocto mailing list. Thanks for kind understanding.

As suggested by @MarekBelisko, I would recommend you to bring these type of questions to the [Yocto project mailing lists](https://www.yoctoproject.org/community/mailing-lists/) as the questions are not related to Mender.
I am sure that you will get the help you need there.
