I would like to run a sudo
command when Ubuntu starts up (before anyone logs in):
sudo searchd
How would I do this?

You can add the command in the /etc/rc.local
script that is executed at the end of startup.
Write the command before exit 0
. Anything written after exit 0
will never be executed.
Edit the tty configuration in /etc/init/tty*.conf
with a shellscript as a parameter :
(...)
exec /sbin/getty -n -l theInputScript.sh -8 38400 tty1
(...)
This is assuming that we're editing tty1 and the script that reads input is theInputScript.sh.
A word of warning this script is run as root, so when you are inputing stuff to it you have root priviliges. Also append a path to the location of the script.
Important: the script when it finishes, has to invoke the /sbin/login otherwise you wont be able to login in the terminal.
