One of the problems with using /etc/inittab and init to launch your 
program, is that not all the resources you assume are there will be there 
- like network and any mounted filesystems other that root. Init will 
attempt to start stuff in parallel, including the full rc?.d startup 
stuff. It may often be just easier to get to grips with the sysV init 
system and add your program start up at the relevant point, when you know 
needed initialisition has happenned.
