Boot scripts on different distributions

I've made a script to register and un-register a server: python registerTool.py start and python registerTool.py stop

I want to run these tools on boot and on shutdown. but is there a tool that can make scripts for me for different distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, Archlinux etc..

Is there a tool that can do this for me?

Most Linux distributions support the SysV system for managing runlevel scripts.

You can use update-rc.d to register scripts for the different runlevels. (see man update-rc.d on your systems for relevant docu).

For example: update-rc.d <your-script> defaults

This will make links to start the service in runlevels 2345 and to stop the service in runlevels 016 and will create the appropriate SysV-style scripts inside /etc/rc?.d/

I am not sure if this will work directly with python scripts, but you can always wrap them in one-line-bash scripts.
