1. Execute this command to find your default runlevel:
cat /etc/inittab | grep initdefault
You should see a line like this:
id:2:initdefault:
That means 2 is your default runlevel. This may also be 3, or
rarely 4 or 5.
2. Create your rc.local file like this (as root):
touch /etc/init.d/rc.local
chmod 774 /etc/init.d/rc.local
Put the command into the /etc/init.d/rc.local file
echo hello world
3. update-rc.d -f rc.local start 99 2 3 4 5 .
# Note - you must leave the period in with a space before it.
