To start in the background just add the following to your rc.sysinit.author (the parameter after the -t is the timeout):
Code:
/var/hack/bin/screensave -t 60 >/dev/null 2>&1 &
Technically you do not need the ">/dev/null 2>&1" stuff as the application does not have any output, but it helps to get into the habit...
">/dev/null" writes the standard output to the null device (ie it throws it away), and "2>&1" writes all error messages (file descriptor 2) to the same place that the standard output (file descriptor 1) is going... ie it also gets thrown away.
