[newbie] Starting on Boot
How do I start a program when i reboot my computer? I have a computer that I don't physically have access to (but I can ssh into it) and it gets restarted quite often by the people whom I entrusted it too. I would like YASC (Yet Another SETI Client) to run when the computer gets rebooted, but all the tutorials I have found have been complicated explanations about setting up a subsystem...bah, there has to be a simplier way.
