Where to put autostarting shell script?

Hi,

I have a shell script which (should) start a few applications automatically during boot. However I'm not sure, what's the right directory to put the scipt in, so that it will actually be run on boot up process? Should it be /etc/init.d/rc5.d/ or /etc/init.d/rc.d/rc5.d/ or something else? ALl help appreciated like always

If your running kde, it's easy. Just place the script in ~/.kde/Autostart and it will run every time kde starts up.

try putting them in

/etc/rc.d/rc.local

(works for me in slack) though I looked at my mandrake /etc/rc.d directory and rc.local does exist
