heh, no. there is an equivalent to autoexec.bat though ;) but it depends what you want to achieve. to have something run once on boot up, add it to the end of /etc/rc.local but you might prefer it to load on each login, only certain users logins etc... in whcih case there are more suitable places.

yeah i want it to run on each logon
my onboard sound dosent work even though i installed the drivers off the nvidia site
every time i reboot i have to
modprobe nvaudio
for the sound to work.

yes so that's rc.local you want. but actually you should be setting it to load properly, so you should be able to add soemthign like "alias sound-slot-0 nvaudio" to /etc/modules.conf, a much more official way to do that.

If you want to run it for each user login then put it in ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile
