The path of least resistance is to install the freeradius package 
provided by your distribution (e.g. debian, suse, fedora, RHEL, CentOS, 
etc.). The purpose of these distribution specific packages is so all the 
distribution specific issues are taken care of by the packager for the 
distribution freeing you from having to learn and apply all the 
distribution specific issues. The only reason not to install a 
distribution specific package is if the distribution does not have a 
current version of freeradius available.

Since I presume you built and installed from source you can find example 
init scripts in the debian, suse, and redhat subdirectories. Just be 
aware of bit rot as I don't think the files in these distribution 
specific directories is regularly maintained, but it will certainly get 
you started if you feel the need to "roll your own" as opposed to using 
what your distribution provides.
