Under UBUNTU you have the vixie version of crontab which allows you to create a "@reboot" command FROM USER mode, no need even to log into root nor sudo, just crontab can start mprime at boot time. make a line like : @reboot ./.autorestart
and put any commands you like in an .autorestart script file in your home directory. Its what I do to start mprime.
