If it's a "system" task, then possibly, yes - there's a load of overhead
to doing it correctly, just putting a file in there will not result in
it being run.

As an alternative, you could reference your command in crontab, using
the @reboot time specification instead. That might be more appropriate.
See 'man 5 crontab'
