Hello!

The best way to start your own programs at boot is to edit the file
/etc/rc.local
and add the full path to the program there.

So the steps to do that would be:
*) Open konsole and write run "sudo kate /etc/rc.local"
*) Add something like "/usr/bin/fancontrol" above the exit 0 line

In my file it say that you need to change the execute bit of /etc/rc.local,
it was already done for me but to be sure you can run "sudo chown +x
/etc/rc.local"
from console.

Hope it will help
