How about running it in the background. Just put an ampersand behind the
command, ie:

# progname &

will run the program progname in the background and kick you back to
your shell.

Write a script that contains the startup command for the program, end
the script with a .sh extension and make it executable. This script
should live in /usr/local/etc/rc.d

Hope this helps :o)

Merry hoho!
