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
