on redhat i'd suggest having an initscript in /etc/rc.d/init.d/adsm.linux
i've attached the one i use (no guarantees, read the script before
using).  it probably has something to do with a PATH not being set
or one of the DSM envirornment variables.

you can have it added to the aproproiate runlevels using
/sbin/chkconfig --add adsm.linux

and then start it up by rebooting or simply

/etc/rc.d/init.d/adsm.linux start
