    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Usually there is a link to it from /etc/rc.local.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    /etc/rc.d/rc.local is fine to use for custom scripts but it is not the recommended method. Instead, it is recommended to add a script into the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory. The easiest way to do this is to copy another script from within and editing it to point to your script.

    This is method is better because it runs like a normal service and will allow you to stop, start, and restart just like you do for the other services.

    In Suse you have a file named boot.local. you can call your script from this file.
