As was discussed earlier, that script isn't inteded to be used that way. You should probably create a script in /etc/init.d that DTRT.

Read /usr/doc/sysvinit/README.runlevels.gz and look at the documentation pointed to in /etc/init.d/README for more information.

That the program won't be needed if the system does come up early?
