Once you put it there, chmod it (probably 755) and use your favorite
tool to enable it in the init process...

like 
'/sbin/chkconfig svscan on'
or ksysv and make sure it is added to the 3 and/or 5 run levels for the
start...  There is also a Gnome tool, and others...  The chkconfig is
easy cmdline tool for admining the SysV init scripts
'chkconfig --list' will show the current status (on or off fr each run
level)
'chkconfig --list svscan' will show the current status of svscan, etc...
