Boot

Speaking of boot, beginning in Windows 10 build 21286, the ability to run startup commands was added to WSL:[boot]

command = <string>

For example:[boot]

command = apt update && apt upgrade -y

This brand-new feature, as of writing this book, unlocks new potential for running tasks at WSL “boot” time. This can replace clunky scripts previously stored in ~/.bashrc or /etc/profile. The commands are executed as root, allowing high-level changes to the environment. These commands are only run when the WSL is manually launched from the Start Menu or Windows Terminal, so it does not replace the ability to use a Windows Service to run WSL tasks in the background or automate tasks on WSL using Windows Task Scheduler, but it does complement those.
