One solution is:

   /etc/init.d/boot.local

That might be too early in the boot cycle for some daemons (called
before entering the first run level). If that is true in your case, try
using:

   /etc/profile.local

But the problem there is that it's run for every 'login'. To get between
these two extremes, check out (read carefully):

   /etc/init.d/skeleton

and you can create your own startup script and let SUSE determine when
it should run (based on your entries in 'Required-Start:' and so on).
