You can start it at the system boot time by putting it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local.

Hey ALL,
I have a C executable, which I want to run as a Service just like "httpd" or "mysqld", I guess its called "DAEMON mode", how should I do this. I do not want to run it via CRON.
Any pointers, leads are greatly appreciated.
Thanking in anticipation.
