Doubt with How to run an application automatically?

Dear sir,
I want to know if i shut-down my system and while starting it next time
automatically one application starts running, Is there any way?

I an using Suse linux OS.
PLz Help me!

in solaris we store scripts in /etc/init.d directory for starting up a application when the system starts.

So you can create a script to start ur application and place it in the dir

/etc/init.d

init.d is right but I am trying rc.d to do the same in Suse linux.

but i don't know how to use rc and what rc is?

Rule #4: Do not bump up your questions.

In Linux, the init scripts usually reside under /etc/init.d (sometimes /etc/rc.d/init.d). rc[0-6].d contain symbolic links to those scripts telling init which scripts to run and in what order, for each runlevel (0 to 6). rcS.d contains the scripts for single user mode (rescue/repair mode)
