For details, see The system administration Manual, section:

Identifying and Modifying the System Initialization Files

The basics:

The systems boots into multi-user level. The script files should be located in /sbin/init.d and a symbolic link with the name:

/sbin/rc3.d:
SNNservice_name To start the service
/sbin/rc0.d
KNNservice_name To stop the service

NN is a number that specify the startup order.

To create the start and stop script, use any of the scripts located in /sbin/init.d as example.
