Two solutions:

The first one is to put the full path of the command in /etc/rc.local:

/mypath/mycommand

or, the cron way:

crontab -e

@reboot cd /mypath;./mycommand

From the crontab manual:

 @reboot        Run once, at startup.

  • /etc/rc.local is available for 16.04, but 17.10 and 18.04 aren't at least you make it available for systemd.
