Linux Application Start-up
To execute automatically an application at Linux boot open /etc/rc.local and add a command to start the desired application. In fact /etc/rc.local is a symbolic link to /etc/rc.d/rc.local. Make sure to add the correct path to the application. Automatic execution of the application does not require user login.
Example
The example demonstrates how to open /etc/rc.local with vim on Linux fc11 and configure automatic mount of an ntfs hard drive at star-tup.
[leon@localhost ~]$ vi /etc/rc.d/rc.local
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.
touch /var/lock/subsys/local
ntfsmount /dev/sda1 /mnt/c
