I would not edit /etc/rc directly because your updates will eventualy get overwritten by an upgrade. Create a rc script the proper way. It will be called by the /etc/rc script. Another alternative is to add it to /etc/inittab.
Run level script execution
Run level scripts allow users to start and stop selected applications while changing the run level.
Put run level scripts in the subdirectory of /etc/rc.d that is specific to the run level:
The /etc/rc.d/rc will run the scripts it finds in the specified directory when the run level changes - first running the stop application scripts then running the start application scripts.
Note: Scripts beginning with K are stop scripts, while scripts beginning with S are start scripts.

service(8) System Manager's Manual service(8)NAME
service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable an environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with the current
working directory set to /.
The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the
invoked script. service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and stop
commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start com-
mand.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.
EXIT CODES
service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it.
FILES
/etc/init.d
The directory containing System V init scripts.
ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM
The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.
SEE ALSO
/etc/init.d/skeleton,
update-rc.d(8),
init(8),
invoke-rc.d(8).
