If you want init to run it, put it in inittab ('man inittab').
But generally, you don't want to do that. Much too low-level.
Most people would run it from cron, putting it in crontab
('man crontab'). Cron is one of those things that Just Run.
Ntpd (the full daemon) is another of those things that just run,
on my systems. There's a somewhat elaborate system of starting
daemons and subsystems for the applicable runlevel, starting with
the /etc/rc.d/rc script run from inittab - in the fairly old Red
Hat versions I have: on System V-style systems, it always looks
somewhat like that, but the exact implementation varies.
