You should be able to do that by using the init script which should have been installed with the program in /etc/init.d or you could just add the command in /etc/rc.local if suse has one.
Does your suse uses kde? If yes you can copy the executable file inside of .kde/autostart. I guess, but I don't know if you already use a root user. Bye.

Thanks but I want it to run at system boot. The .kde/autostart seems to start it when the user logs on. No?

I have tried this, and also have created a 2 line script that starts the app and put it into /etc/init.d . Owner is root and the file is executable. When I reboot however, the app does not start.

You can't just put the above script in /etc/init.d, you have to create links to in in the rcX.d directories to stop and start on different init levels. Have you done this?
