Well sir you don't have to restart linux most of the time as in Windows. If its
a package you want to start at booting automaticaly and if its come with Redhat
by default then it uses the standards specified. For them you can do this;
Normally they are scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d/MyService
With /etc/rc.d/rcX.d/[SXXMyService | KXXMyService] being links to the one
init.d
These scripts check for parameter value start, stop, restart, status, etc. So
you can do
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs start ( or a stop followed by a start )
I think debian is slightly different but for sometime now I haven't used it
but overall the logic should be similar.
Or
You can check the man on the service in question and start the program as a
daemon process. (some may require a parameter to be passed to tell them to
become a daemon and also may require to be specified the path to the config
file etc.)
