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.
