You're on the right way! Just edit what you want on rc.local.

You may ask the daemon to run adding it to SysRun (level 3, I guess):
    on rc3.d add a link (using ln -s <where the daemon is - init.d>  S<the
pid>httpd); it will look like: /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S85httpd -> ../init.d/httpd*

Just look for you shell rc file (~HOME/.bashrc, for bash for example) and edit
to run your command, it will run only when you log in.
