All scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d are sent the "start" parameter at bootup 
and the "stop" parameter at shutdown.  So this is exactly what you are 
looking for.  If your script isn't running correctly check the paths to the 
executables, and also put some echo statements in the script to follow the 
logic to debug it.
