Simplest way to do it to invoke it from the script /etc/rc.local. Don't forget to background it if the daemon doesn't do it on its own.

Either put the start and stop script in /etc/rc.local, or clone a start AND STOP script from one of the simpler ones in /etc/init.d/ and link chkconfig it on.

If you do the latter, be sure that you consider when to start - you don't want to start a network-related script before the network is up.

Using the bin/daemon.sh script on ubuntu

Pleas point me to a good source how to use that (with ubuntu and Tomcat 7)?

The internet is full of selfmade /etc/init.d/ scripts, but mostly it isn't used it as a real service (jsvc). Keyword: bin/*daemon.sh*
Even the books "Apache Tomcat 7" and "Tomcat 7 Essentials" are not talking about it.

On the docs I've found this [http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/setup.html#Unix_daemon]:

cd $CATALINA_HOME/bin
tar xvfz commons-daemon-native.tar.gz
cd commons-daemon-1.0.x-native-src/unix
./configure
make
cp jsvc ../..
cd ../..

But what about:
* set env. variables (maybe: catalina.sh?, /etc/profiles?)
* adjust the heap size
* logging to the right directory (like: /var/log/tomcat/...)
* specifying the User: "tomcat"
