Phil,
At the end of rc.local, the workstation will switch from
runlevel 2, to runlevel 5 (or whatever is chosen in lts.conf).
My guess is when the rc.local script finishes, and the runlevel
changes, your background process is getting the HUP signal
and dying.
My suggestion is to try to catch the HUP signal with
something like this:
<snip>
(
trap "" 1
/bin/my-script &
)
<snip>
Notice the parenthesis (), that should cause the trap and
the script to run in a sub shell.
The 'trap "" 1' command is roughly what happens if you
use the nohup command.
