This is in generally how I add something to the start and stop procedure.  
This should work on any linux distribution.

Make a file /etc/init.d/xymon with contents

#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
start)
   <start command>
    ;;
stop)
   <stop command>
    ;;
esac

exit 0

Make this file executable and create the needed symlinks:

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/xymon 
ln -s /etc/init.d/xymon /etc/rc0.d/K09xymon 
ln -s /etc/init.d/xymon /etc/rc1.d/K09xymon 
ln -s /etc/init.d/xymon /etc/rc2.d/S91xymon 
ln -s /etc/init.d/xymon /etc/rc3.d/S91xymon 
ln -s /etc/init.d/xymon /etc/rc4.d/S91xymon 
ln -s /etc/init.d/xymon /etc/rc5.d/S91xymon 
ln -s /etc/init.d/xymon /etc/rc6.d/K09xymon
