starting a program in the background and terminating it later
Would the means of doing this be dependant on program or is there a simple way I can always use.
I want to write a SysV init script to start/stop the folding@home client program (running within a specific directory and run by the user "folding")
Further information would be useful.

The at command allows you to specify a time and a program or script to run at that time. at 13:46 script & I think will get done what you need or pretty close to it.

A resounding "Me Too" to this - though my problem is a bit different, since I want to run a (perl) script at startup on the system to serve as a mail filter for other computers (POPFile - damn, it's a nice proggy) and Perl seems to just simply hang when I throw it into rc.local (since the computer just won't boot at all past POPFile).
Is anyone else here using POPFile? Can you offer tips on this subject to me, as well as the original poster?
