Depending on the script placing it in /etc/init.d could work (with appropriate symlinks to /etc/rc.x) however does the script follwo standard behaviour for /etc/init.d scripts? (eg start, stop, restart, status.....) ....
If you just want the script/java file called you could just pop it into /etc/rc.local to run at the end of the start up sequence (you might need to & to background it) ... with the reminder that it will only run at startup then. To run it at other times you would need nohup <scriptname> &
that would prevent it ending when you log out or you close a terminal window (thus exiting the parent shell).

Hello,
I've just finished installing Atlassian's bamboo http://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/ it comes with two ways to start it up one through a bash shell script bamboo.sh and another through java script (this one is better as it has the ability to start up the service if it got shutdown for any reason)
so I'm wondering how can I set this service to start on boot.. I know how to set a script on login in my profile though not on boot..
any suggestion? I've looked around about none interactive shells and so on.. so if I did a symbolic link from bamboo.sh script to /etc/init.d would that work? what about variables inside the script would they b read ?
obviously a newbie here so appreciate any detailed explanation if possible about interactive/ none interactive shells and of course if theres an advice about how to solve this issue..
PS: trying to educate myself about linux along the way so any explanation would be greatly appreciated...
