Login Item to Start Command Line Service (VNC)

All right. I've been messing around with OSXvnc, and I'd like to have it run as a login item, but not display it's icon in the dock. So, I figured out what command it was running by looking at it's log, and got the server running by simply typing in the command line.

Now, I want that command to be run every time I log in, but I don't like the System Service model since it disables copy and paste. I would simply use a .command file, but I would prefer that no terminal window pop up. And I tried using an Applescript, but it would open and then hang since the command never returns (it doesn't work when I try to background it with an &, either).

So, is there a more graceful way of executing command prompt commands at login?

Thanks
