These are required to make chkconfig work. # chkconfig: 345 95 5 # description: Runs commands scheduled by the at command at the time \ # specified when at was run, and runs batch commands when the load \ # average is low enough. # processname: atd Note that you also have to create a file in /var/lock/subsystem if you want the service to stop gracefully at shutdown. For example the atd script uses this: touch /var/lock/subsys/atd I'll be interested to know if these two additions to a perl script make it start and stop as expected. c -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
