If the correct comments are added to the startup script, putting the script into /etc/init.d/ and running: '/sbin/chkconfig --add script_name' '/sbin/chkconfig script_name on' is all that should be required. The links are managed by chkconfig, and there is no reason to attempt managing them by hand. The required comments needed in the script are: # chkconfig: 2345 11 89 # description: starts my script 2345 denotes runlevels where the script should be activated. 11 is the boot time start order. 89 is the order of shut down. Chkconfig will create and manage the K89myscript and S11myscript links in /etc/rc*.d You may want to add functions to the script for 'start', 'stop', 'restart', etc. Have a look at an existing script in /etc/init.d for ideas on how make the modifications. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+8urGn/07WoAb/SsRAtpLAJ9Z8sdMRyt/5iYlnfQcYryz8SRYjQCgoOVH ccp7q/eWoq//pEy2Pa+CMQU= =gGwv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
