Are you talking about on Red Hat?  If so, you can either copy one of
the scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d and write your script so it can be
called with "start" and "stop" (and maybe "restart") arguments, then
make appropriate symlinks in /etc/rc.d/rc[0-6].d.

If that's too much trouble, just add whatever you need to
/etc/rc.d/rc.local, or call your script from there.
