execute my program when my Raspberry Pi boots up with time sleep 10

Question

I am trying to execute my program when my Raspberry Pi boots up with time sleep 10.

it workt only with time sleep: "time sleep 10 && ./DotNetConsoleApps/Tinkerforge/helloweatherstation"

but it didn´t work when i try to start it on the Raspberry boot. Like this: "@reboot time sleep 10 && ./DotNetConsoleApps/Tinkerforge/helloweatherstation" I need your help please

This question is not Pi specific. I suggest you search for crontab and make a crontab entry. — joan, Nov 14 '19 at 15:09
Thanks for your Answer, but i have already tried crontab and no Autostart after i reboot the Raspberry. — Gerard, Nov 15 '19 at 07:29
You need to sort out why crontab did not work. If you look through starting programs at boot questions you should soon find an answer. — joan, Nov 15 '19 at 09:10

Please don't use pictures of text. Instead paste the text direct into the question. And please take note that using /etc/rc.local has limitations due to Compatibility with SysV. We have seen many problems here on this site using it. Following the recommendation of the developers from systemd you should avoid using it. — Ingo, Nov 15 '19 at 17:14
Perhaps stating the obvious - but you entered @reboot on the Linux command line; that simply isn’t a Linux command. It might work in some other context, but here it means nothing. Also, in the other screenshot, time at the start of the command doesn’t really do anything except report how long the command took to run - but you already knew that was going to be very close to 10 seconds — Jim Danner, Nov 17 '19 at 01:38

Your comments suggest that you've tried using an @reboot command in your crontab. The syntax you've used might be an issue. You might try again using the following syntax:

@reboot ( /bin/sleep 30; /full/path/to/your/app  > /home/pi/cronjoblog 2>&1)

See this answer if you need an explanation of this statement.
