The simplest'd be to start the app from "/etc/rc.local".
If you'd like to do it "properly" (and be able to stop/start/restart
the app with service or a similar tool), you can either:
. create a sysvinit script in "/etc/init.d" and run, for example,
"update-rc.d yourscript start 30 2 3 4 5 . stop 70 0 1 6 ." making
sure that no app on which yours depends starts at 30 or higher.
. create an upstart script in "/etc/init".
