Make a file called /etc/init.d/local with a text editor. This file is a script so it should always start with the following line:
```
#! /bin/sh
```

Add the following command to the file:

mysql -u root --password=passwd syslog < /tmp/mysql.pipe

Make this file executable with:
```
chmod +x /etc/init.d/local
```
Next, link the new local file by running:
```
update-rc.d local defaults 80
```
