You could use the LSB conforming method of writing and installing an init script:
http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptfunc.html http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/initscrcomconv.html http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/initsrcinstrm.html
Most of the main distros support this (Fedora, RHEL, SuSE, Mandriva, Debian, ...). Not to say all of them ship with the LSB support packages installed by default. Some do some don't.
On Debian I need to do an "apt-get install lsb".
