The AIX approach is outlined by these documents:

http://blog.firetree.net/2008/09/03/services-on-aix/
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/aix/v6r1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.aix.files%2Fdoc%2Faixfiles%2Finittab.htm
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/aix/v7r1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.aix.cmds%2Fdoc%2Faixcmds3%2Fmkssys.htm

The approach I'm going with for now is to run this in the post-install scriptlet:

mkssys -s rudder-agent -p %{ruddervardir}/cfengine-community/bin/cf-execd -u root -S -n15 -f9
echo "rudder-agent:23456789:respawn:/usr/bin/startsrc -s rudder-agent" >> /etc/inittab
