Unless I'm completely misunderstand what you want to accomplish there
should *never* be any reason to have to login to run a program. Most
desktop Linuxes have a "local" init script in init.d. The intent is to
start in miscellaneous programs. It doesn't look like the TS-72XX has
one but it's simple enough to create one.
1. Create a shell script in /etc/init.d called local.start
2. Put whatever you need in here to start your program.
3. (Optional) Create a shell script in /etc/init.d called local.stop if
for some reason you need to do an orderly shutdown of your program. Put
those commands here.
4. Create a symbolic link with the following command in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d
$ ln -s ../../init.d/local.start S99local
This will execute your script in local.start. The '99' is the order
in this case '99' should be the highest number so it will run last.
5. (Optional) Create a complimentary symbolic link in /etc/rc.d/rc0.d and
/etc/rc.d/rc6.d for halt and reboot, respectively.
$ ln -s ../../init.d/local.stop S01local
Let me know if you have any more questions. Good Luck!
