It's a .sh file I run from cron like this..

@reboot /usr/local/bin/start-binkd.sh

So this script runs on reboot. The script looks like this..

#!/bin/sh
#
# A shell script to start binkd.
#
.. /etc/profile
/usr/local/sbin/binkd -DC /usr/local/etc/binkd.conf
cd /sbbs
exec/sbbs

On my slackware box the /etc/profile contains all the environment I need for binkd and the BBS.

You might want another file like /home/user/.bash_profile.
