Boot script that starts a program in a terminal session but still boots to XWin logon

[tangoj]

I want to run a web server program, Domino upon boot up. I want to start it in a full-screen, plain-text, terminal window session, but then have the XWin logon screen show up in another session.

i.e. After boot, I want Domino to be running in a terminal session, but have the boot process continue to the graphical XWin logon be able to toggle between the two sessions via Ctl-Alt-Fx.

Did that make any sense?

I'm not asking for the code of the script, just a starting or reference point. Thanks in advance.

Yes, and I think you answered your own question.

Also, to save yourself from future embarrassment, they're called "init scripts", not "boot scripts".

Umm, could you give me a hint as to what I said that makes you think that?

Thanks for the tip! I hope your attempt to keep me from embarrassing myself is not in vain.
