a common way to tackle this task is to stick the script in /etc/init.d
and create a link to it from the directory /etc/rcx.d where x is the
runlevel you want to run in. The link should be called Sxxscriptname
where xx is an arbitrary number from 00 to 99. Mind you, looking in the
/etc/rcx.d directory you see other scripts which will bring up your
network, so make sure to give your link a higher number as the scripts
are executed in numerical order
