No script is necessary.  The kernel calls the "init" program
after boot (unless overridden on the kernel command line).

The "init" program runs as PID 1 and invokes the scripts
in "/etc/inittab," which in my case points to my custom scripts.

[~]# ps ax
  PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
    1 ?        Ss     0:01 init [3]

Ha, ha, ha, ha!  There ain't no stinkin' cgroups on my machines.

But you wouldn't know that because you are incapable of configuring
the kernel beyond the default options.
