There is a bit difference between distribution, you should tell us at
least what distribution do you use. For example there is an easy way
to add a daemon in Red Hat based distribution, just add the line in
"\etc\rc.d\rc.local" file (it is not the best way do do it, but for
starters it is OK i think so). Often you will find a file named
"skeleton", "template" (or something similar) where you'll find short
description how to write your own start script.
