Well, this is beyond my current knowledge... but basically /etc/init.d is where you make things happen at startup, and with the numbers leading filenames there (take a look...) you can have control when your script will be executed. I'd suggest take a look into those scripts and try to insert your script, and google runlevels if you want to be sure when your script would be executed. I suppose basically everything in /etc/int.d goes off before anything (normally) happens to your home directory.
