Depends on your Distribution/init system.

On recent Debian based Distris you can use ifup/ifdown for CAN
interfaces. See the man page of interfaces.

If you use busybox's ifup/ifdown you can fall back to the "inet manual"
mode and specify /sbin/ip commands to configure and up/down your
interface. On systemd you can add a service that starts CAN and runs
before your actual program.

Marc

BTW: you probably want to integrate your application into the automatic
startup via an init script or in new designs with systemd...and _not_
start it by hand.
