Deamons on NT are called services. Developing services is fully documented in the NT SDK (software development kit).

There is a service available on the NT 4 Resource Kit that enables you create a NT command file with the names of programs/services you want to start. Works pretty much the same way as the Unix "service" that runs the startup scripts in /etc/rc2.d
