I made a script and it works and I want to put it to start on startup...where should I put it at to make it start up when booting? and how would I make it do that too?

RTFM. It's documented just about everywhere. Look for init scripts.

If RH based, eg/ Mandrake, add the path to the script at the end of:
/etc/rc.d/rc.local, i think http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

DOW - that was a crappy way of putting things. You know we don't want that sort of attitude on these boards.

UltraMaroon - it depends upon your distribution, but most of them are in /etc somewhere, post your distro and we can be more specific.
