If you use openrc then /etc/local.d/ would be a good place.

[gentoo-user] Autostart of an application for a headless embedded system

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

I have a Gentoo on my embedded system (Arietta G25, very tiny). 
If this system is booted (no display, no monitor, only one LED) 
an application (console only) should start, do its job and if done
shutdown the system. The application runs as root.
The system has no connection to the outside, so there are no
security related concerns...


What is the best place to call that application?


Thank you very much for any help in adnavce!
Best regards,
Meino

to screw up the bootprocess...
