Does anyone know how i can have a specific program or process run automatically upon reboot of my system?

You could add it to cron with a line like:

Code:

@reboot /my/command

Just use 'crontab -e' to edit your existing crontab.

Another choice would be to add a line in your local init files. In Slackware it's called rc.local, don't know what it is called in [insert your distribution here and please update your profile with this info]

Hi
in /etc/ac.d folder you will find rc.local file that is executed last after all script are executed you can put your program path overthere.
