Well, I am not an expert in such things, but somethings that might work for you...
I *think* what you are aiming for is a way to run the program in the system init scripts yourself -- there is an /etc/init.d/skeleton file that you can copy to a new file, edit, and then make symbolic links to it in the /etc/rc?.d directories. It shouldn't be too difficult.. Try to use start-stop-daemon if you can. It provides some nice features, if I recall correctly. Most folks would just try to put it in the background, if the start-stop-daemon program doesn't work, using a "&" at the end of the command; eg, /usr/local/bin/start_server_command & If it REQUIRES having a stdin, see if you can redirect from /dev/null; eg, /usr/local/bin/start_server_command < /dev/null & If this doesn't work, then try redirecting from a named pipe -- man mknod(1) for more places to look for information on this (as I don't know how to do it either. :) HTH..
