If you're using one of the Fedora/Red Hat distros and you already have the swatch packages installed then making it run at startup is as simple as logging in to your box as root and typing "/sbin/chkconfig swatch on". chkconfig is a very easy to use tool that allows you to configure which services are started and stopped in each runlevel on your box. Try /sbin/chkconfig --list to see a list of all services and their default modes in each runlevel.
