Running Scripts at startup

[Azati Prime]

I'm trying to get Compiz working on my machine. Every time I start up I don't have all the cool compiz effects like wobbly windows and the desktop cube until I do compiz --replace or reload it with compiz fusion icon. I found this script but I'm having trouble getting it to run on boot. I saved it as /etc/init.d/compiz and ran chmod +x compiz. When I run update-rc.d compiz defaults here is what I get.

kevin@bluetux /etc/init.d $ sudo update-rc.d compiz defaults
update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing
insserv: warning: script 'K01mintsystem' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: warning: script 'K01compiz' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: warning: script 'compiz' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: warning: script 'mintsystem' missing LSB tags and overrides

Any ideas?

I found a much better way to accomplish what I was trying to do by following this guide but I'm still curious how to run stuff on startup.

If you want to run certain commands at startup and with root privileges, just edit /etc/rc.local to your liking. Alternatively, you could use cron.
