add it to rc.local
As above, seems the simplest way to do it.
Unless you want to specify the exact runlevel (what system level the script runs).
In this case runlevel 4 or 5 would be appropriate.
See the following article:

1) Create a file e.g "startup" in /etc/init.d/ [chmod that file "startup" must be an executable]
#!/bin/bash
/(path)/script.sh
2) run "update-rc.d startup defaults"
3) Reboot
#!/bin/bash
/(path)/script.sh
2) run "update-rc.d startup defaults"
3) Reboot

1) add it to rc.local
what rd.local ?
[root@ns38251 etc]# locate rc.local
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
/etc/rc.local
2) Create a file e.g "startup" in /etc/init.d/ [chmod that file "startup" must be an executable]
#!/bin/bash
/(path)/script.sh
->OK DONE
2) run "update-rc.d startup defaults"
???? I tried :
[root@ns38251 etc]# update-rc.d startup defaults
bash: update-rc.d: command not found
I tried:
[root@ns38251 etc]# run "update-rc.d startup defaults"
bash: run: command not found

[root@ns38251 etc]# locate rc.local
/etc/rc.d/rc.local

Apparently the ethod by ofkr of using "update-rc.d" applies to Debian based Linux distributions only. Not Redhat.
its both the same.
the second one is a symbolic link to the first one.
update-rc.d is for debian. In Red Hat its chkconfig. But that won't work here because for it to work, you need to write actual Sys-V init scripts.
Here you just need to add the line for calling your script in /etc/rc.local and make sure for your runlevel
rc.local is enabled, i.e. make sure the symlinks to rc.local begin with S and not K. Eg
[root@updaweb employee]# ll /etc/rc*.d/*local
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Mar 3 17:38 /etc/rc2.d/S99local -> ../rc.local

cool down...
I AM a totally dummy in Linux.
I have a SSH console to my red5hat 7.2 distribution.
so once again, what should I edit so my script script.sh is launched if the server is rebooted ?
