Disappearing rc3 process

Managers,

I'm trying to configure our system (running DU4.0B, patchlevel 8) to call
dxsysinfo on startup with output to a remote display.
My initial attempt was to create a new script in /sbin/init.d, with link to
rc3.d/S98_sysinfo.
the script looks like :

#!/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/X11/dxsysinfo -dashview -lights -swap -fs -display <IP address>:0 &

When the script is executed at start up, the window appears but only for a
second or two. The dxsysinfo process then dies.
 I then tried :

#!/bin/ksh
nohup /usr/bin/X11/dxsysinfo -dashview -lights -swap -fs -display <IP address>:0
&

but the result is the same. I have other scripts which operate OK in this
manner, so is it something strange with dxsysinfo?

Any ideas please?
