Be very careful about running applications, and in particular
presenting any user interface prior to login. There may be serious
security implications in doing this. (The system makes it
deliberately hard to do this, but some clever folks always find a
way...)
For example, an application might present a user interface that
permits other recently used applications to be launched, or that
permits a backup destination to be selected. Either of these could
leave a machine open to Bad People.
I would suggest adding the program as a login item if it needs to
present any user interface, following Adam's suggestion:
