All distributions offer a rc.local ( or somesuch similar name ) most 
probably somewhere in the /etc tree. It's used to allow you to do what you 
want. You can find it using the find command.

find /etc/ -name '*local*' 

There will probably be two files: one executed on boot-up; the other on 
shutdown. Use your editor of choice to edit it|them.
