Debian (Sarge) Deamon Mode?

[domino]

I'm trying to run a.. umm, hard to explain. This is what is required. I obviuosly get an error because the example below is for RH.

PHP Code:

## For those using Redhat style rc files and using daemon-mode:
  cp sample-etc_rc.d_init.d_ddclient /etc/rc.d/init.d/ddclient
  ## enable automatic startup when booting
  /sbin/chkconfig --add ddclient
  ## start the first time by hand
  /etc/rc.d/init.d/ddclient start 


What must be done in order for the script to able to run on every reboot?

Thanks

For Debian the steps should be as follows:

cp sample-etc_rc.d_init.d_ddclient /etc/init.d/ddclient
update-rc.d ddclient defaults
/etc/init.d/ddclient start
