Answer 1

Basically, you need to create a little shell script in /etc/init.d and make symlinks to /etc/rc2.d and /etc/rc5.d. The contents could be like this:

#!/bin/sh
if [ "$1" = start ] ; then
    cd /put_your_workdir_here
    /usr/bin/java -jar SyslogAgent_01.jar 192.168.2.154 1998 D:/apachelog.log ApacheLog 13 &
fi

Notice that you start your program in background (& at the end of the commandline)
