OMG
please don't do that. That's an administrative nightmare.
if there is already a sysV script for the services you wish to
start/stop then use it. the ntsysv approach is perfectly fine

but first:
chkconfig --list | grep 3:on
(assuming 3 is your default runlevel)

I don't remember how true this was for RH7 but the init scripts
themselves now contain (well most of them do) a description field which
may tell you what they were intended to do.

that could be a good start.
