how to auto run script in startup

Hello Linux Guru's

I've created a sample.sh file which I manually run on a terminal in Centos 5.5, I just want to know how can I make it run automatically hen the centos box starts?

You can add a command to execute that script to your rc.local file (should be /etc/rc.d/rc.local or /etc/rc.local), which will run it during bootup. Actually, if the script itself isn't that long, you could simply copy the contents of the sample.sh script into rc.local.
