Yeah, you have to do something like
nohup ./rc5des > /dev/null &
the nohup makes sure that when you log out of the console, the program keeps running.
Redirecting to /dev/null keeps the output from appearing on hte console and the &
makes the program run in the background and releases your console for use.
Place this line in an appropriate place in /sbin/init.d/boot.local so it will start up
with automagically.
