Guide to startup mulitple instances

Question

OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Sun Java Web Server 7 update 6
When I installed the webserver 7 (as root), it asked me if I wanted to start-up the admin-server automatically and I typed in Yes, however it did not create a script for it in the startup (either in init.d or rc3.d) and it's not starting up automatically.
I'd like to know how to do this and also I have 20 sites (instances) that need to start up automatically as well. Going through the GUI is a pain as sometimes, I have to restart a site twice, because it doesn't start up the first time. There are no errors at all.. I suck as scripting, but here is something I was working on.. It doesn't work though.
startup.sh script
/usr/bin/find webserver7/servers/https* -name start -print > list
count=`ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep webservd | wc -l`
clear
echo "\n\n\nThere are currently " $count " web servers running."
echo "\nEnter the Certificate db Password:\n"
read pass
echo "\nYou Entered: " $pass
echo "\n\nOK to proceed with starting all the web servers? [yes/no]\n"
read ans
if [ $ans = yes ]
then
tmp=`echo "echo" \"$pass\" "|\ "`
sed -e "s/^/$tmp/" list > .list.tmp ; chmod 400 .list.tmp ; rm list
awk -f start.awk .list.tmp > .list ; chmod 500 .list ; rm .list.tmp
./.list ; rm .list
sleep 3 ; echo "\n\n\nThere are currently "`ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep webservd | wc -l` " web servers runni
ng."
else
clear
echo "\n\n\n"
echo "You did not answer 'yes'. Bailing..." ; rm list ; exit
fi
start.awk script
BEGIN { RS = "\n" ; FS = "/" }
print "echo \"\\n\""
print "echo \"Starting up " $5 "\""
print $0 " &" }
Thanks!
Much appreciated!

The SJSWS7.0u8 install provides a startup script that will work:
#!/bin/sh

# Use is subject to license terms.
# NOTE: To avoid your system from failing on reboot, do not change this
#       file in any way.
# This script is designed to be executed on reboot.
# Make sure we have PATH set at this  point.
PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:$PATH"
# Set this to 0, if you do NOT want autostart of Web Server
# after a system reboot.
WS_START_ONBOOT=1
# Initialize Script scope level variables.
WS_INSTANCE_ROOT="/path/to/installed/webserver"
# Setup return and error values.
rc_failed="Failure"
rc_success="Success"
ret=$rc_success
