Unless you are loading something along the line of a system type daemon
program, starting it up in inittab is not the way to go.
Depending on the file system you are running it would be best to add entries
to the init.d directory found under /etc/rc.d.
Another option (if you don't want to get in to working out which run-levels
should be running your program at boot), is to add the commands to start your
program to /etc/rc.d/rc.local. Make sure the file gets marked as executable
and add the following lines to the /etc/rc.d/rcS.sysinit file:
if test -x /etc/rc.d/rc.local ; then
. /etc/rc.d/rc.local
fi
With that done, hit the reset button and watch as your application
automatically starts. :-)
The directory/file information above was based on a TS-7250 running its stock
(ie. not the Debian) Linux.
