Currently I am looking for a solution to run a script upon start up, not login, start up.
I have been researching this specifically for Synergy, but with the new version of Ubuntu (15.10) the documentation I have been following is different as folders and files do not exist where they specify. So for simple clarification, can someone please explain where I can add my Synergy start up script so that when the PC boots it runs the script before login?
I have referenced the many Synergy "how to's" on the Ubuntu forums and same thing, the files and folders they explain do not exist.
this was one of the main sources for me to follow and still was unable to get it running before login.

EDIT/UPDATE:
I have tried to modify the rc.local file and adding the line:
/usr/bin/synergyc -n MACHINE_NAME Server_IP
this unfortunately does not work, there was an error after logging into the machine stating that synergy crashed. Is there something wrong with my command? it works when entering it into terminal so i believe this command is fine.
