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. YMMV HTH
