Linux Startup

[tony.chamberlain at lemko.com]

I have a program I want started at system startup time, and also monitored so if it dies it will be restarted.
I see two options but problems with both:


1) Put it into /etc/inittab

 This would work, EXCEPT I need to do some stuff first. I need to do a cd, and add some stuff to the
 PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. And I can't do (as far as I can tell, as I tried):

 x:respawn:cd /root/inittab; LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$PWD";./Vms

 I think you have to run from root



2) Put into /etc/rc*.d

 Then I could do all the path setup, etc, but how do I get it to respawn if it somehow dies?
