That does not make sense - the install script does not modify anything 
that gets started during system boot and there is no way the tools can 
survive a reboot.

Make sure you read the docs before starting the scripts:

http://www-public.tu-bs.de:8080/~y0013390/povany/docu.html

Note esp. the paragraph:

"All tools by default are started in loop mode. With the -c option you 
can turn this off to run only once. In loop mode the scripts should not 
be stopped by pressing CTRL-C but using the stop mode (-s) of the same 
script. This makes sure the script exits in a clean state."

Once the scripts have been started in loop mode you have to stop them 
with the described method - otherwise they won't start again - even 
after a reboot.

It makes sense to use the verbose mode ('-v') for the scripts when 
starting them for the first time - you will better see how the 
processing works then.
