Is it possible to (safely) start a java program from /etc/rc.local? I’m using Ubuntu Nov. 2011 (Why should I learn what #s the months are?).
If it helps (and can improve specificity), I’m running Minecraft 1.2.5 Bukkit Server, and yes, I have a script preprepared that sets up every thing to start the server (RAM, nogui, set working dir, etc).
Yes you can, try to look at this answer for a generic Java process:

Then specifically for Minecraft you can read this tutorial, and in particular this chapter.
