Most Linux distros have a file /etc/rc.d/rc.local for you to put startup scripts in.

there are several ways, depending on your distribution. you can probably add the command you need to start the program to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local if that file exists.

Just replace the tilde character with the path to your home directory, e.g.

~/shoutcast/./sc_serv
should be
/home/<user>/shoutcast/./sc_serv
