Have a look at one of the many HOWTOs that describe how this is done for a particular package
eg
http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/rmitchell/smeserver/howto/dansguardian%20instal%20&%20configure%20HOWTO%20for%20sme%20server.htm

See the sections re Starting dansguardian and Enabling the dansguardian service at startup.

Chamnge the details to suit your service.
