Yes, I guess I do. because I am install qmail, and I follow the qmail-HOWTO:
-------------------------------------------------------------
The next thing we need to do is make it so that svscan starts every time the 
system starts. On my system, I accomplish this with a simple rc script:

#!/bin/sh -e
# /etc/init.d/svscan : start or stop svscan.
# borrowed from http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html#start-qmail
# modified by Adam McKenna <adam at flounder.net>

case "$1" in
    start)
        echo -n "Starting djb services: svscan "
    ...
    *)
        echo 'Usage: /etc/init.d/svscan {start|stop|restart}'
        exit 1
esac

exit 0

If you correctly add this script to init, svscan will start each time you 
boot your system. Please see the documentation for your particular system or 
distribution to find out how to add things to init.
------------------------------------------------------------------

That is what I want to do.
I am running RH 6.2, I need to know how

These does not make the script run at system booting.
