Indeed, this doesn't even reveal what the RPi is running, since there
are many many options. Presumably it's a linux variant (like Raspbian
which I think is still the "default", been a while since I looked);
there's plenty of information on "initscripts" (older way) and "systemd"
(newer way) if you're looking for a system-level startup script for
Linux, as well as ways to run things at a user level (when you log in,
or when your desktop environment is instantiated if you run one).
Rapsberry PI forums and Linux forums are good places to look.
