In KDE you can create shortcuts to applications in your ~/.kde/Autostart directory.

For instance:
Code:
ln -s ${which kmess}
Creates a shortcut to start KMess or if you know the path to the file you want to run:
Code:
ln -s ~/myscript

chkconfig

if you are talking about the system startup and not your window session startup, you want to take a look at "chkconfig" (on redhat, anyway).

The man page is here.

If you run system-config-services or ntsysv, you will get a nice interface for you to enable or disable system services. The system-config-services is marked as "Services" in the KDE and GNOME menus. The chkconfig and the service commands may also be worth looking at.
