According to Bernard.Devine:

We don't use /etc/inittab. The common way is to start processes
from /etc/init.d using a shell script. This script should have
execute permissions. The "stop" part is needed for a system shutdown or
if you want to stop "listserv" by hand.
Because the script is very short, I will append it to my mail.
For more information read /etc/init.d/README
 
Hope this helps
Ralf
