I think, you need to learn how to use and administrate linux.
/somewhere/suitable is your bin path. Print "whereis whereis" in your
console and take "/.../bin" part. Init.d doesn't need to be changed,
but you could write your own, it's not so difficult.
this is my script, made from old default one, you can take a part of
it if you don't need 2 smsboxes and an sqlbox
