If you have a program that operates as designed independently of the
console (except to start it), then it will run when started at boot
time. If the program requires a connection to a serial port, then you
need that connection. But you don't need the console.
My HVAC monitor program flashes the LEDs as a "heartbeat." When I reboot
the 7250 using the console, the LEDs start flashing, and I get the login
prompt on the console. If I shutdown, disconnect the console, and then
power-up the 7250, the LEDs again begin flashing.
I have a 7250 in the mechanical room right now with no console, and my
program is running 24/7.
