CentOS - Mar 2015 - how to add service at boot up

Hi there,
I am used to traditional update-rc.d et all.

Now I wonder how to add a a script that used to called by init.d (wit 
start/sop ..) to the new "service start xx" regime.

All the tutorials I found talk about how to use update-rc.d..

thanks
robert

For CentOS 6

For CentOS 7
systemctl enable <service_name>

are you talking about systemd services in RHEL 7 ?

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/System_Administrators_Guide/sect-Managing_Services_with_systemd-Unit_Files.html#sect-Managing_Services_with_systemd-Unit_File_Create

short version:
you create a 'unit file' like /etc/systemd/system/servicename.service, 
it has a few options in .ini file format to start and stop your 
service....  then you tell systemd to reload daemons, and enable your 
new service.
