This is close. The Redhat init scripts are run based on symbolic links in the
/etc/rc.d/rc?.d directory where ? is the runlevel. They are executed in name
sorted order of K* first then S* next. These links typically point to the scripts
in /etc/rc.d/init.d. If you want to run it in all runlevels you can place a call
to the script in /etc/rc.d/rc.local which is run as the last step in the init
process.
If it is a standard package you are wanting to run like say lpd, you can run as
root ntsysv and enable it. I believe that it will setup the links for you in the
current runlevel. There is a control panel tool that I have used but I forget its
name that allows you to set the started processes for all runlevels as well as
define the ones you want stopped when entering the runlevel via telinit.
This is my undersanding of how this works. If you want to read through the scripts
you can start at /etc/rc.d/rc and see how it as all done.
