Here's how I would do it, but that doesn't mean I'm right :-)

Create a script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ called genome.
In that script, put the following:

#!/bin/sh
#
case "$1" in
   start)
       echo -n "Starting Genome: "
       cd /path/to/genome/
       ./command-to-start-genome
       echo
       ;;
   stop)
       echo -n "Stopping Genome: "
       cd /path/to/genome
       ./command-to-stop-genome
       echo
       ;;
   *)
       echo "Usage genome {start|stop}"
       exit 1
esac

Make that script executable, then link to it as follows: -

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/genome /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S100Genome

That should do it :-)

David.
