your script could read:
#!/bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/myscript
# references /etc/init.d/mystartupscript
# /etc/init.d/myhaltscript
case "$1" in
start|restart)
su <user> -c '/etc/init.d/mystartupscript'
;;
stop)
su <user> -c '/etc/init.d/myhaltscript'
;;
*)
echo "Usage: myscript start|stop|restart"
;;
esac
# The End.
just put it in init.d and use update-rc.d to make it run automatically
