The short answer, locate it in /etc/init.d and give permissions to it:

# chmod +x <script>

and then run:

# update-rc.d <script> defaults

The script should contain a header, something like this:

#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          name_of_the_script
# Required-Start:    $syslog
# Required-Stop:     $syslog
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: blah blah blah
# Description: blah blah blah
#
### END INIT INFO
