Simple Debian Autostart app question

[Gweedo]

Where is the file that autostarts at each boot up?

For example on my old drake machine it was located under etc/rc.d/rc/local.

Thanks

Make a script with the command you want to start, (make it executable) stick it in /etc/rcS.d/. Make the first letter of its filename a S then a number, the higher the number the later it is started. Im sure youll see what i mean with the other files in that dir.
The scripts in /etc/rdS.d start at every boot.

You are looking for /etc/init.d. Take a look at this thread.

Yes he could put it in /etc/init.d then link to it.

Also he could put it in /etc/rc.boot. One of the startup scripts rcS looks in there for any scripts.
