I have'nt followed the discussion - we did it another way:
We use AIX, HP-UX and Digital-Unix. All these systems have '/etc/inittab'.
We added a last entry '/etc/rc.technodat'. This script is started as last
command during startup and we can enter every needed command/script in the
same form as we would start it from the command line - no need to nohup, no
need to change (foreign) scripts, have enough privilege etc.. and only one
file to manage/backup!
