There are several ways/things you can try: 1.- Start your application from one of the init scripts (search in /etc/rc.d/... for the right spot) 2.- Replace /sbin/init with your application (dangerous, you'll have to know what you are doing, and your application needs to start up all other things, just like init.) 3.- Edit /etc/inittab to change the order in which things are started. For example if you wanted to start your application in every runlevel, put something like this into /etc/inittab: my:12345:respawn:/bin/myapplication This will keep your application always running, and restart it if it quits. 4.- replace /sbin/login with your app ;-) There are probably many more options, but I hope this helps for a start.
