Ubuntu - Start C application on startup

[Rusting In Peace]

I need to start a C program automatically when Ubuntu starts up.

Does anyone have suggestions on the best way to do this?

You need to create a shell script to run the program (let's say it's called "foo"). Then put that script into /etc/init.d. You can then enable the program to run at boot with the command:

update-rc.d foo default

Have a look at this link for a slightly more detailed explanation.

Thanks for this I understand what you mean a bit more now after doing more things with Ubuntu.

I've yet to give it a shot though. Thanks for your help!
