I want to run a simple command after boot.
cd /mypath
# then
./mycommand
How can I do it?

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.
