12.04 - How do I start an application as a service?

So I would like a couple of applications to run as services when the machine reboots without the need to login, is this possible?




Applications are:




  • Thunderbird Mail

  • xChat IRC



This way my email filters will work and I can log the IRC channels I need if my machine restarts and I'm not able to login at the time.



I have them configured to Auto Start when I login nut how can I add them as a service?
