Motion auto startup

Question

How to add motion to start motion in run level 2 ?

Environment

Motion version:	3.2.9
ffmpeg version:
Libraries:	ffmpeg
Server OS:	Ubuntu 7.10

SOLVED myself - may go to FAQ

Hi, is there any way to start up Motion after bootup (runlevel 2)? tried obligatory Linux /etc/init.d and rc2.d stuff but no luck at all.

SOLUTION: /usr/local/motion-3.x.x contains init files for various distro. Just copy to /etc/init.d and update rc.d

Edit script to change user or just add user "motion" to userlist
