Create a file like: /etc/init.d/package_name where the package_name file contains your initialization code. Then make links as: ln /etc/init.d/package_name /etc/rc#.d/S##package_name and ln /etc/init.d/package_name /etc/rc#.d/K##package_name where # is the run level number(s) that you wish to S## start or K## kill your package. The ## digits determine where in booting sequence your code will run. If you specify S## the same (don't) for two different packages, they start in indeterminate order. rc1.d denotes single user mode while rc2-7.d are flavors of multi-user modes. My system doesn't run X stuff until rc3.d since X has failure modes which leave the system unuseable. You want to be able to have multi-user mode (rc2.d) available for debugging X. Some S/As isolate networking capabilities to a specific run-level.
