I am running xmrig-5.8.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 by executing this cmd ./xmrig --donate-level 1 -o pool.supportxmr.com:xyz -u MY-XMR-ADDRES -p Rig1 -k --tls. Now I want it to start automatically in background whenever I start my system. I found some way like adding a script file inside init or init.d folder but I don't know how to add the script file inside these folder and what to add inside these script file?

There are many ways to do this. One simple way is via cron:
In a shell execute crontab -e then add and edit the line:
@reboot /path/to/xmrig -B [--syslog | --log-file=/some/file.log] [your other options]
Save and exit.
The -B option runs it in the background and you add either the --syslog or --log-file option so you can get at its output.

my xmrig file is in
home/user/xmrig5.8/xmrigSo it should be done like this@reboot home/user/xmrig5.8/xmrig -B [--log-file=/some/file.log]so then what is the use of this cmd./xmrig --donate-level 1 -o pool.supportxmr.com:xyz -u MY-XMR-ADDRES -p Rig1 -k --tls@jtgrassie– zirconApr 5, 2020 at 3:01 -

Depends which users crontab was edited and which user it is wanted to be run as. Also, you don't need to use
suin crontabs as you can just place the user name between the time section and command. e.g.@reboot bob /home/bob/xmrig ....– jtgrassie ♦Apr 5, 2020 at 4:13 -
