That's good.

/etc/init.d are not usually run "in the background". Most /etc/init.d
scripts are processed as "root" on boot, so that shouldn't matter.

I'm not sure that's going to work. "man su". On my system, the command
comes first (with a "-c" switch), the username last. You might want to
consider using "sudo" instead of "su".

Don't use rc.local. Use /etc/init.d/[whatever]
Remember that /etc/init.d scripts aren't directly executed at boot:
you have to "ln -s" each script into /etc/rcX.d where X is the
runlevel number into which the machine is booting.
