    Put the command you want to run in a script called:

    /etc/rc.d/rc.local

    The command should either run in the background or exit quickly, or you
    won't be able to log in. So if the command does not background itself,
    or exit after doing what it needs to do, put a "&" after the command to
    run it in the background.

    Example:

    # echo '/usr/local/bin/noip2 &' >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local
    # chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local

    Paul.
