Instead of echo you can put what the script is expected to do.
#!/sbin/sh #
case "$1" in 'start') echo " Start is passed" ;; 'stop') echo " Stop is passed" ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 { start|stop }" exit 1 ;; esac exit 0

If you cd to /etc/rc2.d you will see a number of start-up scripts. Just pattern one after the last posting submission, or create your own patterned after one of these. Make sure it is executable.

Hello,
You must know that every script at /etc/rcX.s that begins with "S" is executed at startup as with the start argument passed. And if it begins with K as if you execute with the stop argument. The number following these letters indicate the execution order.
So in your situation, make sure that the script begins with "SXX" where XX is a number.
Bye,
jmiturbe
