integrating customized application with linux

[kamranhameed]

folks.. i want to know the steps to integrate my own application written in C in linux so that when the linux boots, it should recognize my application.

Suppose that i have a simple C program that asks the input from the user and then prints the same input on console (Just for the sake of example). Now i want to integrate this with linux so that when linux boots it should treat that as its own application.

What steps i should follow (i am using openSUSE)

Regards!

you mean you want to create startup application
that is start a appln when system starts?

you can copy your file to /etc/init.d
with execute permissions to all

and create a link in the runlevels.
eg./if your file is samp
create links in runlevel 2,3,4and 5 using
ln -s /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S20samp /etc/init.d/samp
ln -s /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S20samp /etc/init.d/samp
ln -s /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S20samp /etc/init.d/samp
ln -s /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S20samp /etc/init.d/samp

however, instead executing the C file on startup, use the executable for that C file.
