probably not the "canonical" way, but still works:
I have a script in /etc/init.d/mystuff for a similar task, that looks
basically like
case "$1" in
start)
printf "/usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian -s -b -p 8 -u de.pool.ntp.org" | at
now + 2 minutes
;;
stop)
RUNL=`/sbin/runlevel`
case ${RUNL:2:3} in 0)
/usr/local/sbin/sys-backup;;
esac
;;
esac
