This sounds like something you should be using the 'service' framework
for, instead of inittab. In CentOS 5 you would create a script in
/etc/init.d and start the service from there. I'm not yet familiar
with CentOS 6, but I would bet looking for docs on how to do that will
lead you in the right direction.
