how to run something at startup

I installed some package, and I want it to run when system initiates. What should I do?

I tried out some tips on rc.d..., but it did not work out. So please help!

Since I'm new to Linux, please give me detailed instructions. Gracias!

Depends on your distribution, though the general setup is more or less the same. But some use SysV style init (most), and some use BSD style init (Slack, most notably).

I too am a newbie to linux, and have redhat 8.0 running to help me feel my way around it..
I use the /etc/rc.local file to run smbmounts at startup..
Use it like a windows .bat file... to sequentially run bash commands..

hope this helps..

Steve.
