   Also, what is the equivalent of /etc/inittab on a BSD machine?

On "4.3 derivatives", it's /etc/ttys, and, yes, you can run nearly
anything from there.  The biggest thing to watch out for is that you
have to make sure that the daemon doesn't fork/exit and detach itself
from the controlling terminal, or else init will keep on restarting
it.
