Nothing R-specific here -- one way to execute _any_ script at bootup is (or
maybe, was, as my 19.04 box longer has it) is to add it to /etc/rc.local ---
as the name indicates this is (was?) for local additions.
This whole complex changed a little with the changes between init.d and
systemd so why knowledge may be out of date. Otherwise, you can also try the
(excellent) askubuntu.com variant of stackoverflow.
So I just did and a decent-looking answer spanning many release versions is
