wrapper scripts

Assuming that the other executable are only require to run only once during startup.
Question
1. Which servlet engine are you using, and are you using apache?
2. Which flavour of unix are you using?

You can try this script, place it in your rc directory. A modification of apache startup script for linux. See whether that help.

#!/bin/bash
#
# Startup script for the Apache Web Server

# Path to the apachectl script, server binary, and short-form for messages.
apachectl=/usr/sbin/apachectl
httpd=/usr/sbin/httpd
prog=httpd
RETVAL=0

# The semantics of these two functions differ from the way apachectl does
# things -- attempting to start while running is a failure, and shutdown
# when not running is also a failure. So we just do it the way init scripts
# are expected to behave here.
start() {
echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
daemon $httpd $OPTIONS
RETVAL=$?
/PATH/TO/SCRIPT/FILENAME1
/PATH/TO/SCRIPT/FILENAME1
echo
[ $RETVAL = 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/httpd
return $RETVAL
}
stop() {
echo -n $"Stopping $prog: "
killproc $httpd
RETVAL=$?
pid1=`ps auxw | grep "/PATH/TO/SCRIPT/FILENAME1" | grep -v 'ps auxw' | awk {'print $2'} pid2=`ps auxw | grep "/PATH/TO/SCRIPT/FILENAME1" | grep -v 'ps auxw' | awk {'print $2'}
kill $pid1 $pid2
echo
[ $RETVAL = 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/httpd
}

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop

restart)

start

*)
echo $"Usage: $prog {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac

exit $RETVAL

Opps, should be FILENAME1 FILENAME2,

Check whether if, that works to your requirement and we will proceed from there
