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

# download fifo_remote.pl irssi script to control it remotelly
REMOTE="$HOME/.irssi/remote-control"
install_fifo_remote()
{
        install -d ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun
        cd ~/.irssi/scripts
        wget http://ep09.pld-linux.org/~sparky/fifo_remote.pl
        cd autorun
        ln -s ../fifo_remote.pl .
        rm $REMOTE
        mkfifo $REMOTE
        chmod 600 $REMOTE
}

case "$1" in
        start)
                [ -p "$REMOTE" ] || install_fifo_remote

                if ! pidof irssi > /dev/null; then
                        screen -d -m -S irssi irssi
                fi
                ;;
        stop)
                pidof irssi > /dev/null || exit 0

                echo "quit System shutdown" > $REMOTE

                usleep 10000
                if pidof irssi > /dev/null; then
