You can add the script to /etc/init.d and then run

Code:

update-rc.d -f SOME_SERVICE start 99 2 3 4 5

Replace SOME_SERVICE with the name of the script you put in /etc/init.d.

what is mean by 99 2 3 4 5 ? is it run at startup ?

The 2 3 4 5 part represents the runlevels at which the script will be automatically run. 99 is the order in which the script is run.

Another trick (if you run cron) is to use @reboot, 'man 5 crontab' for details.
