I'm not sure why it didn't work in Ubuntu. I could have messed it up some how though. I ended up making my own rc.local which ran from rc5.d as S99rclocal->/etc/rc.d/rc.local. Inside rc.local I just run my apps like /path/to/app &. In Ubuntu I did get it to work, but it made me use their `startservice` program to do it.
