When you say "server", do you mean the application (probably Apache) or the computer itself? If you mean the computer itself, put that command at the end ofetc-rc.d-rc.local (or where-ever rc.local is hiding). If you mean when the application, put the command at the end of that section of the script that starts the application - there is likely a 'case' statement, with the values 'start', 'stop', 'status', 'restart' and perhaps 'reload'. One probable location would be just before the double semi-colons that end the 'start' case.
In another post, you write:
The standard 'cron' (vixie-cron) runs jobs at a specific time-date. There is also a 'anacron' package for systems that are not run 24 hours a day, and runs jobs that are scheduled by day or day-of-week some set the computer starts or reboots.
If you want cron to run as it does on the other system (backup every Sunday night at 02:00) then copy the script and cron entry. If you want the job to run when the computer or application starts, then you don't want a cron job and must put the backup command either in the rc.local or application startup script.
