This should do the trick for you. Just make sure that if it is a script that accesses a service such as apache that you put it in a runlevel after apache so apache will be running.
I believe the last post is not quite what you WANT to do if you are looking to start an APPLICATION automatically.
If you use KDE (Red Hat default is Gnome), simply copy the desktop icon to the ".kde/autostart" directory.
If you want to autostart in application in any X windows system (Gnome or KDE), I think all you have to do is add a line to your ".profile" script (in your home directory). In your case adding the line "evolution" should do it.
Thank you guys for replying. I have found a different solution which is checking the "Save current setup" when logging off, and then I will have the same environment as before after relogging in.
Yes, but restoring the environment is quite a capacity-consuming thing. Better to link to an autostarting app than restoring the environment - that also means you have to set up the environment the exact way you want it when you log off?

Hope this helps.
