I have a Java program that I want to start up with every boot, but I'm unsure how to do it.
Put the call to your script on this file:
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
HTH, Jorge
It may be tempting to use the rc.local, but that's the quick and dirty way and not good for the long-term sustainability and management of a system. There's no way to individually control any service running from there, and no way to stop it on shutdown.
