According to System Startup Programming Topics
(http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystemStartup/Articles/StartupItems.html)
RunService should be used. It's defined in /etc/rc.common, which is
included at the top of the script.

Does your system have /etc/rc.common, and does it define RunService?
