There's probably a proper way to do that, but until somebody finds it,
put that into a shell script and call it from rc.local.
So far, the ways I have found on google search have not survived
a reboot :(
That's why you use rc.local. It's a shell script called at the end of boot
that you can use for any special or non-standard stuff you want or need done.

I have enabled rc-local:
sudo systemctl enable rc-local
which is supposed to automagically execute /etc/rc.d/rc.local during bootup,
but for some strange reason, rc.local is not being automagcally executed,
even though (as I explained already, it is an executable shell script with
execute permissions set.
I have to run it by hand.
You should then do "systemctl status rc-local" to see if you get (code=exited,
status=0/SUCCESS). It is possible that the environment isn't the same when run by
hand. Or, there could be another reason why a script would fail in
"unattended"
mode. I ran into that a few years back where it seemed the script wasn't running
but in fact was failing for an altogether different reason which I can't recall.
