How does one configure a Solaris 9 machine to automatically start Synergy(synergy2.sourceforge.net) or any other X-dependent application at startup?

A:
You'll want to add it to the appropriate rc directory, and make the script name come after starting X lexicographically. I don't have an S9 system to look at right now, but I think you'll want to add it to the RC for runlevel 3, (vice 4, thanks Martin) and you should be good if you name it anywhere in the 90's.
Oh, and BigAdmin will have a lot of handy howtos for this kind of thing.

You probably want run level 3 (multi-user + networking). Run level 4 is pretty funky (not a default).

It's not what you don't know that hurts you, it what you think you know that ain't so.

Why do the "Autostarting" instructions for Synergy not apply to your setup? If you are using CDE, that is, dtlogin is providing the graphical login, you'll find the corresponding files in /usr/dt/config/. Be sure to read /usr/dt/config/Xconfig for the instructions to modify the configuration files properly. (Just checked this on Solaris 10.)
