Hi Dimitrios,

For simple execution actions at the end of the boot process, you can add things to rc.local ( local file for Ubuntu / Debian distro's ) without having to write init-scripts to control them.

The following link will show you it's basic usage: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RcLocalHowto
