That's what I was wondering. If not, you could boot to single-user
mode (set default runlevel to 1 in /etc/inittab). That'll bypass the
login prompt. You could start your app from /etc/rc.d/rc.local; or
create a script to start/stop/restart it in /etc/init.d, like other
startup services.

Of course in single-user mode everything runs as root. You'll have to
decide if that's a problem.
