Well, the entire linux world works like Lego..
So yea.. ^^
there are Lots of initscripts.
Linux works with Run Levels.
level 0 is off
level 3 is multiusr Console
level 5 is X11
level 6 is reboot.
well there is a folder If I recall correctly /etc/inittab/
there are files
rc1 etc.
They are the bootscripts and the runlevels.
Well there is also a bootscript for when X11 starts and a bootscript for when Fluxbox, KDE or Gnome starts
Well Google for Bootscript and you find your answer..
Hope that helps
place the executable in your .profile file.Quote:

Example:
giis::boot:/usr/bin/giis -u > /dev/null
i added above line in my inittab file ..
so everytime linux boots a command called giis will run and it's outputs are sent to /dev/null ...just trash the output.
Check out this init - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
or simply type man inittab .
All the best
