If it is standalone, you could probably just add it (full paths) to
rc.local - depends upon your OS. I'd probably tack on an '&' to the end
just to prevent it from hanging.

As for scripts - again it depends upon your OS - most SYSV systems have
normal scripts for startup/shutdown of daemons... 'ls -l /etc/init.d'
