What's the best way to autorun a. sh script on startup (Lubuntu)?

Question

I need to have a shell script run at start up, but can't get it working. There seems to be a number of options, but what is the best method for having a script auto run when the system boots up, before a user is logged in? The script then runs a python program that runs constantly in the background. Thanks

This is quite opinionated, but I use to run a game server for my grand-kids and used Crontab to backup the server and initiate the server start up automatically. Worked very well for me. Use this to complete your setup.
