Hi Tim,

As a quick fix solution, you can write a one liner script and put it inside
the directory ``/etc/rcS.d''  Contents of this directory are executed
regardless of the runlevel your your system. Do make sure that script's
filename starts with ``SXXfilename'' and is executable -- where S means
start this script and XX is an integer between 0-99 which indicated the
order in which all the scripts in /etc/rcS.d will be executed.

You might also want to read man pages for ``update-rc.d'' command.
