Since you (presumably) know about init.d & rc?.d, it's simple:
put a file in /etc/init.d just like always, but here's what it
will look like:
#!/bin/sh
# dnetc - starts and stops dnetc, the distributed.net key cruncher
# Source function library.
####. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
[ -x ~dnet/dnetc ] || exit 0
case "$1" in
start)
echo 'Starting distributed.net cracker'
su -c ~dnet/dnet.start.sh dnet
;;
stop)
echo -n 'Stopping distributed.net cracker'
su -c ~dnet/dnet.shut.sh dnet
success
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
