Starting a Unix program from the GUI

Hi,

Ok, so i've installed ntop and have it starting up at system startup. Recently my G4 powerbook is dragging along though. I've used Activity Monitor to discover that it's using 90% of my CPU. Ouch.

My question is this: is there a way to run the command "sudo /Library/StartupItems/ntop/ntop start" and "sudo /Library/StartupItems/ntop/ntop stop" from the dock or desktop?

Thanks
Hans
