Linux startup script instead init.d

newbie question... how can I get my script init script to start when linux boots. Can I just drop a script into the /etc/init.d directory and make manual links to rcX.d?

Thanks

The file /etc/rc.local is a good candidate for local jobs, and it avoids some of the complexity of using /etc/init.d/ and similar directories.

Just add a line to /etc/rc.local to launch your job.
