Easy.  Put a comment line like this near the top of your jabberd script.

     # chkconfig: 345 90 10

This line says that this script should be started when going to runlevels 
3,4,5, and stopped when going to other levels.

It should be started with "priority" 90, and stopped with "priority" 
10.  By way of comparison, this means it will be started after the web 
server (85), and stopped before the web server (15).

Once you've edited your script, give these two command lines and you'll be 
all set for automatically starting and stopping (the first line clears out 
any vestigial configuration).

/sbin/chkconfig --del jabberd
/sbin/chkconfig --add jabberd

You can check whether it's configured correctly with this line:

/sbin/chkconfig --list jabberd


Have fun!
