I couldn't find an inittab in ubuntu, so I couldn't place my vnc_start and vnc_stop scripts there, which meant I needed to put them in the init.d directory. The problem with that is that scripts are called with the syntax 'start' and 'stop' and the simple scripts I had written were simply command line syntax in an executable bash script.
