running programs before login

I think it was on this list someone asked about this since rc.local has 
gone away with the systemd takeover.  I can't answer in all cases since I 
haven't used all shells, but for bash, you can add commands to the end of 
/etc/bash.bashrc and get the same behavior you had putting things in 
rc.local with systemv.  I have it working over here already and I use 
talkingarch linux on this machine and systemd took over long ago here.
Hope this helps.
