You place a script in /etc/init.d, and then add it to the
relevent runlevels via the 'update-rc.d' command.
The manpage will give details, as will this article:

I'm unfamiliar with the basic you mention, but it is worth noting
that at bootup you'll not have access to the X11 display, so if
your program is graphical your approach will not work ..
