Create a script in /etc/init.d and make a symbolic link to it in the rc

So just chuck it in anywhere? Does it matter who owns the file? Should
it be the user? root?
For example, the /etc/init.d/foo.sh may be:
#!/bin/bash
cd /foo
/foo/make_something.sh
If you want this script to run in runlevel 2, then you can:
ln -s /etc/init.d/foo.sh /etc/rc2.d/S99foo
So I'd make the file, put it somewhere in /etc/init.d then symlink it
to /etc/rc2.d ? Seems kinda... random to me.
In the other hand, at any moment you can now the runlevel in what you
are just
typing:
who -r
Have a look at /etc/init.d scripts, they are self explanatory.
There's no directory in /etc/init.d called scripts. I know nothing
about shell scripting and many of you seem to assume that I know what
I'm doing here. I'm a Mac guy, command lines still scare me.
Also, have a look at "man init"

Here's the situation; I have a program that needs to run at system
startup, but there are a few issues with that. First, it must be run
with a certain directory as the working directory. Second it must be
run as the user 'Fox'
The information I've been able to find would end up with the program
running as root and not from the right directory. I'm used to Macs and
have no idea what I'm doing here, but I'm learning!
Thanks.
