Look at /etc/rc.d/init.d and /etc/rc?.d. Put your startup script in the init.d directory and link to it from the run level you want it to start at. Google AIX init.d for more info if you need it, tons of tutorials out there.

How? lol

All the lines in that file look like parameters:
tty2:2:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty /dev/tty2

I just want to add /usr/local/bin/startsmb
