Simply make use of the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file. This script file is run once, before all other scripts have run but before the login prompt appears.

Might even help if you told us what the script is supposed to do?
Is the script throwing any errors?

I am using centos 6.
My script is for just showing me ip address and option with dhcp setting.
It work fine without any error.
It work in centos 5.6.

You mean as a startup script on Centos 5.6 it works without error? (error also being that it hangs)

Script is working fine in centos 5.6 without hang.
it hang in only centos 6.

Maybe you are using sh as the interpreter and on the new version it is aliased to a different shell and so performing differently?
