turn script to daemon?

[Mike Egglestone <megglestone@heritage.sd57.bc.ca>]

Hello,
I have downloaded this unique program.
(its a binary file of some sort that is used as a database)
Anyway, I can launch it by typing the command
# ./atrt.linux &

I can run ps ax and see that the program is running.
but to kill it, I need to run the kill command.

Is there a way to launch this as a daemon so I can turn it off and on?
Similar to how apache and samba are launched from /etc/init.d ?

Thanks!

Mike
