init calls /etc/rc.d/rc which in turn goes through the /etc/rc.d/rc?.d
directories, invoking each S??* script with an argument of "start" to tell it
to start the appropriate service.
symlinking apachectl as mentioned sounds like it should work, but I've met
more then one utility that expects the symlinks in /etc/rc.d/rc?.d to point
to scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d only.
Note, paths given are on my RHL 6.1 system, your system may leave out the
"rc.d" in the middle so they go in /etc/, or put them in /sbin/, or do
something else entirely.

It works. That's what rc.local is for. Lazy sysadmins like me. :-)
