You already have the script to start and stop, the script you attached is a startup script. All you have to do is copy it in an rc folder in /etc/. Copy your start up script to /etc/initd/ directory first. Then make a link to this script in your /etc/rc3d/ directory.
cp yourscript /etc/initd/kannel ln -s /etc/init.d/kannel /etc/rc3.d/S95Kannel ln -s /etc/init.d/kannel /etc/rc6.d/K95Kannel ln -s /etc/init.d/kannel /etc/rc2.d/K95Kannel This will enable both starting and stoping automatically. -- Merid Tilahun Kebede Managing Director KTM Systems Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Tel: +251 114 660943/44 Fax: +251 114 660942 Cell: +251 911 646 217
