..specificly: "Options for Linux distributions with SysVinit
First, for older Linux distributions still using SysVinit, like
CentOS 6 or RHEL 6, rc.local should work out of the box.

These systems still boot using the System V init process. SysVinit
starts all system services defined in scripts under /etc/init.d/,
thenfinishes by running /etc/rc.local.

So for SysVinit-based systems, you can just start using rc.local:

Create /etc/rc.local if it doesn‘t exist already
Add your commands:
#!/bin/sh
# My startup commands

/opt/script.sh

exit 0
Make sure it has execute permissions:
chmod +x /etc/rc.local
And rc.local will run your commands at the end of each boot!

Note that on many distributions, rc.local already exists but is empty.
You just need to add your desired scripts or commands."
