There's no easy way to it that I know of. You just have to look at the
existing scripts and build from that.

Yes, they need a start, and stop at least. The /etc/rc.d/rcX.d scripts are
just links to an appropriate /etc/rc.d/init.d script. When your system
boots the init process runs all the rcX.d scripts from the appropriate level
with the 'start' argument, and when your system shuts down, init runs the
appropriate rcX.d scripts with the 'stop' argument.

If you have a 3-liner that you need to run on every boot up, I'd suggest
adding to the bottom of /etc/rc.d/rc.local. This gets run on every boot up,
and will likely do what you're looking for. I originally used it to
configure my COM ports with the setserial command.
