Hello,

I have got xLinux R3. This distro contains file
/etc/init.d/rcS which is executed during start.
This files starts some daemons, ifconfig and stuff.
My computer is 386, 4 MB RAM.

I wanted to run my applications during system start.
I added to "rcS" my programs: one daemon tftpd,
and one ordinary application (in bacground).
After login I checked processes with "ps" command.
"ps" showed only daemon program (tftpd).
The other application run in background (&) was
started (it showed some text during start) but not showed
("ps") and not working.
Is it demand that applications added to "rcS" should
be daemons?

Trix.
