run script at startup or after login

If you want the script to be execute on system boot time. You can set @reboot parameter in cron

@reboot /path/to/script

or
if it is cent and depending on what it is you need to do
create a script and drop it in "/etc/profile.d"

but be VERY careful that is dose NOT conflict with some other script that is NEEDED

need to give execute permission for the script placed under /etc/profile.d/

:twocents:

Another option is to include in a start up file like /home/user/.xinitrc or /home/user/.config/openbox/autostart . Depends on your set up. ( XFCE , GNOME , Openbox et cettera).

/etc/init.d/rc.n

here you can set the "Snn" process and the "Knn" process where "nn" is the number of the process. I warn you do not edit existing files because your system could not boot up anymore.

it boils down to
just WHAT is it doing
what dose it need to do
then the "best" ( or a "good" place) and or how it is ran can be determined

a start up cron job
a user specific session
universal settings
a back up script
and so on
