rc-scripts-user allows users to run scripts at system startup and shutdown.

Create ~/.config/init.d/script_name. It must accept one argument, it will be either “start” or “stop”.

Example ~/.config/init.d/irssi

#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
        start)
                if ! pidof irssi > /dev/null; then
                        screen -d -m -S irssi irssi
                fi
                ;;
        stop)
                # assuming someone creates it
                irssi_remote /quit

                sleep 1
                killall -INT irssi
                ;;
