What distribution are you using?

Some have different tools than others...

'man chkconfig' may work for you.

You do not mention which distro you are using, this is important because some distro's have a different way of implementing the runlevel mechanism.

Feed your fav searchengine with: runlevels <distro>
You should get lots of hits.

If something is still not clear, feel free to ask

Add the command to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
