/etc/event.d/callerid (assuming it's actually in /usr/bin). Code: start on started hildon-desktop respawn script exec su - user -c "exec /usr/bin/callerid --daemon" end script Add the file to the deb and make it install to the location I mentioned above. This way it'll auto start and you can start/stop callerid from terminal
start on started hildon-desktop respawn script exec su - user -c "exec /usr/bin/callerid --daemon" end script
