I'm not sure exactly what a "FireDaemon" is. Just Googling it, the first thing that turns up is what in Unix-speak would be a daemon manager.

It that's correct, any *nix system has that more than covered, and is included by default.

Unix/Linux systems have a concept of "run levels", so you'll need to grok that concept.

But to run something as a daemon (service), just put it into a shell script. This shell script should be able to process some standard command-line parameters. See the scripts in /etc/init.d for examples.

Once you have the shell script, Debian includes a program to easily set things up. Do a "man update-rc.d" for more information.
