See the man pages for init.d, inittab and inetd.conf

init.d describes the system startup process and how the startup scripts
are organized.  You can insert your own startup/shutdown script in one
of the run levels.

inittab describes a higher level startup mechanism driven by the table
/etc/inittab.  Entries in that table describe processes to be run by
the system.  This is pretty analogous to MS-Windows services.

inetd.conf is for network services.  If your "service" services socket
connections you might want to configure it to work via inetd.

You also might want to do some reading at docs.sun.com.  The admin
manuals might be of more help than the man pages.

Typically you add it to rc.local (or some form thereof.) Look in
/etc/rc.d or its equivalent, depending on which *nix you are running.
