Dag, The rc scripts are actually spawned by /sbin/init, which uses /etc/inittab as its configuration file.
if you run 'man init', you should see some information about how that works. I've done lots of stuff from inittab. On a full Linux system, i had it setup to run pppd from inittab. that way, if the connection was ever terminated for any reason, it would automatically be respawned. If you have something that is likely to terminate, and you want it to respawn automatically, then inittab is a good place to put it. Otherwise, I think an rc script is the correct place for it.
