running at boot time & signals

I need to automatically run a program everytime my computer boots up.
Right now, I'm doing that by linking it from /etc/rc1.d. The problem
is that, since it's running as part of init, it doesn't receive
signals. I need it to receive a SIGINT when I hit ctrl-c, and this
isn't happening. Is there any way I can get this to work, either by
running the program in some other way outside of init, or by
configuring it to receive signals through init?

Thanks.
