AIX has /etc/rc.d/init.d directory where you should put all your start/stop script, then add links to them in the correct runlevel e.g. rc2.d for 2 etc...but AIX uses alot /etc/inittab also which is not the case of HP-UX (and SOLARIS <10)
All scripts are in /sbin/init.d then your should link them to the corresponding level your case should be 3 ( I use 4 and corrrected init default value in order to, when trouble bring down one level:3 which is how the system was delivered: works? then something we added is faulty...) but you can like me customise and use level 4...

There is a template file you can use (in /sbin/init.d/ ; cp template rc.myDB) , do a man rc

Arguments passed by init will be at startup (boot) : "start", at shutdown, "stop"

This documentation explains all:

XkbSetAutoResetControls(3)					   XKB FUNCTIONS					XkbSetAutoResetControls(3)

NAME

       XkbSetAutoResetControls - Changes the current values of the AutoReset control attributes

SYNOPSIS

       Bool XkbSetAutoResetControls (Display *dpy, unsigned int changes, unsigned int *auto_ctrls, unsigned int *auto_values);

ARGUMENTS

       - dpy  connection to X server

       - changes
	      controls for which to change auto-reset values

       - auto_ctrls
	      controls from changes that should auto reset

       - auto_values
	      1 bit => auto-reset on

DESCRIPTION

       XkbSetAutoResetControls	changes the auto-reset status and associated auto-reset values for the controls selected by changes.  For any con-
       trol selected by changes, if the corresponding bit is set in auto_ctrls, the control is configured to auto-reset when the client exits.	If
       the  corresponding  bit	in  auto_values is on, the control is turned on when the client exits; if zero, the control is turned off when the
       client exits. For any control selected by changes, if the corresponding bit is not set in auto_ctrls, the  control  is  configured  to  not
       reset when the client exits.

       For example:

       To leave the auto-reset controls for StickyKeys the way they are:

	    ok = XkbSetAutoResetControls(dpy, 0, 0, 0);

       To change the auto-reset controls so that StickyKeys are unaffected when the
       client exits:

	    ok = XkbSetAutoResetControls(dpy, XkbStickyKeysMask, 0, 0);

       To change the auto-reset controls so that StickyKeys are turned off when the
       client exits:

	    ok = XkbSetAutoResetControls(dpy, XkbStickyKeysMask, XkbStickyKeysMask, 0);

       To change the auto-reset controls so that StickyKeys are turned on when the
       client exits:

	    ok = XkbSetAutoResetControls(dpy, XkbStickyKeysMask, XkbStickyKeysMask,
       XkbStickyKeysMask);

       XkbSetAutoResetControls	backfills auto_ctrls and auto_values with the auto-reset controls for this particular client. Note that all of the
       bits are valid in the returned values, not just the ones selected in the changes mask.
