Suppose I have a script in
/home/myuser/go.py
How do I run that script, when a new instance is booted? (I'm used to using the point-and-click control panel Amazon has...)

A:
I'm gonna try my nonexistent Linux skills here - create a shell script that runs your go.py and add a symlink to the shell script in /etc/init.d/
/home/myser/go.sh
#!/bin/bash
python /home/myuser/go.py
symlink
ln -s /etc/init.d/go.sh /home/myuser/go.sh
After reading up a bit myself, /etc/rc.local is probably a better place for this. Just edit it and add /home/myuser/go.sh there (again, make sure your go.sh is executable).

If I put it in init.d/, then will it start when the server instance is booted?

That's my understanding at least ;-) Make sure it's executable (i.e. `chmod a+x /etc/init.d/go.sh`)
