I am looking for a service that lets regular users place scripts in
a
well defined location, say somewhere in their home directory, so that
those scripts will be executed with the respective user's permissions at
system boot time (note, I don't mean user login time). I was wondering
whether Fedora provides a package that'll provide this so I don't have
to set up a solution myself. Thanks...
cron will work for you. See the man pages for crontab(1), crontab(5),
and cron(8). Each user can run `crontab -e` to setup their crontab and
add a line such as:
@reboot $HOME/bin/script_to_run_at_boot
