Running an On-Reader Application
Once the binary is installed on the Reader it can be executed as you would from a Linux
host or the binary or a shell script invoking the binary can be configured to run at boot
time.
To start the application at boot you can place it in the reader’s /tm/etc/inittab file. If
you do this, the operating system starts that program when the system boots and restarts
it in the event of a crash.
