    Hey there.
    Agreed, that startup script looks like it just causes an event to happen and
    is not what you're looking for.

    Anyway, two things I noticed about your original post

    first:
    In your original post you had this as your inittab entry:
    cam:3:respawn:/home/salvatore/cam/runcam
    The first thing I'd check is your runlevel on bootup to make sure it's at 3.

    do
    'who -r'

    or check your "id" line in your /etc/inittab
    e.g.
    id:3:initdefault:

    second:
    You said when you type the contents of runcam on the console it runs. When
    you type "runcam" it doesn't run. Right there that should be the big flag.
    You may have env variables in your startup that allow you to run runcam when
    typing in the commands. Or something else flaky. who knows . If you get
    your runcam able to run (even better get it able to run out of cron) then
    that will increase the likelihood of it being able to run out of
    /etc/inittab. Is runcam a home grown script? Is it a bash script? I
    definitely would start by debugging this.
