Graphics process startup

[joffe%rtsmv1.decnet at edwards-vax.af.mil]

	Does anyone know how I can start up a graphics process on a 4D
system at power up?  The IRIS is used to run the out the window scene for
a flight simulator and is dedicated to this process. 

	I tried creating a script in /etc/init.d and linking it to /etc/rc2.d
but this did not start the process running.

	I also would like to be able to start the process from a login 
script. I have been able to do this rather unsuccessfully since there is a
flashing window behind the graphics scene which I cannot get rid of. If I start
the process manually from the console window I do not have this problem. How
can I direct the login script to start the process from the console window?

	Thanks in advance for your help.
