Easiest method:
echo '/usr/bin/myservice start' >> /etc/rc.local
More involved but more elegant solution:
Create an init script like those found in /etc/rc.d/init.d/. In
particular, you'll need the "# chkconfig" and "# description" entries
(see /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd for an example). Then use "chkconfig --add
<service name>" to add the init script and "chkconfig <service name>
on" to activate the default runlevels.
HTH.
