[FIXED] Run a tool on LAMP server as service

Issue

I have installed and configured LAMP to run on my Ubuntu 11.10. Now I need to set up a tool to be run on this LAMP server. The tool can be run by a jar file and there is also a shell script to run it. Contents of script are:

#Script must be in the same directory as tool.jar
java -Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -Xmx900m -jar `dirname $0`/tool.jar $*

I have copied the tool directory in the /var/www/ folder but do not know what to do next. Specifically I need to add link on my Localhost page to run this tool. Expecting help.
