/etc/init.d/skeleton is a skeleton of an init script that should have enough examples and info in it for you to create your own script. So make a copy of it then customize that copy you made. To make your script executable, you have to chmod u+x thescript Once you have created your own script and tested it to be sure it works as intended when passed the "start" and "stop" and other arguments, if needed, and you want it enabled, type: insserv /etc/init.d/thescript where "thescript" is your script's name. The man page: man init.d has information on how the boot scripts work.
