LinuxQuestions.org - start server at boot in gentoo?

In linux I've always had problems getting servers and stuff to start at boot, unless installed using apt-get in debian or pkg_add in freebsd, because they help you with it.
I prefer the XAMPP approach because using emerge actually compiles everything and the XBox not a very powerful machine, so its a time thing.
I have a XAMPP server running on GentooX and I cant get it to start at boot.
These commands are to start and stop it

Code:

/opt/lampp/lampp start

/opt/lampp/lampp stop

The script "lampp" can be moved and run from anyware as long as its by root.
I tried to copy the script to /etc/init.d/ and run

Code:

rc-update add lampp default

It seemed like a good idea from what i had read,
But I'm afraid I don't know exactly what I'm doing.
Can someone help me write an init script that works?

Edit:I got this so far

Code:

#!/sbin/runscript



depend() {



}



start() {

  ebegin "Starting XAMPP"

  start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /opt/lampp/lamppstart

  eend $?

}

and the lamppstart is a executable file with this in it (I can run it directly and it works)

Code:

exec lampp start

still not working:(
