Is there a way to create a Unix shell script (on HP-UX) that will start on server at boot time only, and will execute the following commands in order:

# cd /mysql
# ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=root &
# ./support-files/mysql.server start

If there is such an option, then where should I put that script in order for it to work? The HP-UX stores its startup scripts in /sbin/init.d/ but there are also links to all of the scripts in the /sbin/rc#.d/ folders, perhaps I should put the link in /sbin/rc3.d/ or maybe I should create a cron job that will execute the script on start?

Any suggestions?

NOTE: This question is in addition to a Server Fault question here.
I just thought that this might be more appropriate place for such question.

Why not just flag the question and move it Unix.SE instead of duplicating it. There is an answer already there. – Karlson Feb 9 '12 at 16:04
You shouldn't cross-post. The SF question has answers and appears to be more up-to-date, so I'm going to close this one. If you want the question here flag the SF version and ask them to migrate it – Michael Mrozek♦ Feb 9 '12 at 17:10
