I'm asking this question from a Linux perspective, so forgive me if is
not quite right:
Where are the daemon startup scripts kept and if I were to create my own
daemon how, would I go about getting it launched at system startup?

Thanks

/Library/StartupItems

Have a look at the other items in there, or in
/System/Library/StartupItems to get an idea for the format, and follow
it precisely.

A lot of the scripts consult /etc/hostconfig so you may want to have a
quick look at that file as well.
