This is based on how RetroPie does its autologin and autostart which you can find in scriptmodules/supplementary/autostart.sh in the RetroPie-Setup source.
This works in Ubuntu and Raspbian, it probably works in any systemd distro.
mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/
Create a file at /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/autologin.conf with contents:
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --autologin USERNAME --noclear %I \$TERM
Replace USERNAME with the actual username to login.
You can now reboot and test this.
If you want to start something on startup, then create a file /etc/profile.d/10-runthing.sh with contents like:
if [ "$(tty)" = "/dev/tty1" ]; then
THING
fi
Replace THING with the command to run. You could run tmux so you never forget. You could compile DOSBox so it runs on the framebuffer and you appear to have a DOS computer, which is why I wanted to do this.

starting rtorrent on system startup
rTorrent is a curses-based bittorrent client for Linux.
It's very light on system resources but has great features such as monitoring of a directory for .torrent files, auto-move based on status (incoming, seeding, complete, etc), categories, magnet link handling and RSS capabilities.
I have a headless system where I seed some (legal) torrents and wanted rTorrent to start up when the system did. There are some examples of init scripts on the rTorrent site but I didn't like how these ran, specifically the su constantly needing a password and the odd way it started GNU Screen.

Download
Installation
- Put it at /etc/init.d/bittorrent and make it executable
chmod +x /etc/init.d/bittorrent - Add to chkconfig
chkconfig --add bittorrent - Set to start on system startup
chkconfig bittorrent on - If you want non-root users to be able to control it, put this in your visudo, replace "username" with your non-priveledged username
username localhost=NOPASSWD:/etc/init.d/bittorrent* - Setup an alias to the script in the user's ~/.bashrc
alias bittorrent='/etc/init.d/bittorrent'
alias bt='bittorrent'
- CentOS 6 or Fedora 12-14. Probably also works on CentOS 5.
- screen and rtorrent
- A non-priveledged user to run rtorrent, this can either be a new user just to run torrents, or an existing user
- Absolute session path in the .rtorrent.rc file
session = /home/rtorrent/.session ## this is good
session = ~/.session ## this will break
session = .session ## so will this - Paths for other actions such as monitoring directories for .torrent files and auto-moving complete downloads don't have to be absolute.
- Control the daemon withbittorrent start, bittorent stop, bittorrent restart
- Get information about the daemon with
bittorrent status, bittorrent info - Connect to the screen session with
bittorrent connect
(press ctrl+a then d to disconnect)
