For Unix/Linuz a crude way I've done it for single user systems is to have a process started and put into the background when the user logs in. For example, in /etc/profile.d/fake_server_prog.csh put the line
/etc/fake_server_prog.pl & where fake_server_prog.pl is my perl program and I keep it in the /etc directory. I'm sure there are vulnerabilities but my systems are not connected to a network and they are well protected physically. But I know there are much better ways to do it, and probably a way to start the prog as a daemon.
