Starting up sysdaemon and sysdaemon-server 
Add similar lines to these to your rc.local or equivalent system-startup scripts

su sysd -c 'nohup /usr/local/bin/sysdaemon-server /usr/local/bin/sysdaemon.conf > /home/sysd/logs/sysdaemon-serverlog 2>&1 &'
/usr/local/bin/sysdaemon /usr/local/bin/sysdaemon.conf
        
The path used here is /usr/local/bin  it should be replaced with the locations of your scripts and the configuration file.
