Where to put Linux Startup Scripts

[Amos]

If there is an init script to start this service for a runlevel, then you need to edit the services available in each runlevel to turn it on.

If it doesn't have such a script, then add a line at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local to start it - this file is executed at the end of the bootup process after all the SysV init stuff is complete.
