Add the following lines to the top of you script file: # chkconfig: 235 99 01 # description: what ever you want here 2. Run chkconfig to "add" the script: chkconfig --add /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S50pgstartstop A Google search on chkconfig should supply you with the reasoning behind this (much more eloquently than I can). You might also want to add the following line to your script file: touch /var/lock/subsys/S50pgstartstop IIRC this was required in order to the shutdown to work correctly. HTH Regards, Hugh ~~~~~~~ Many thanks Hugh. Added the above lines to the script and tried to the following; chkconfig --add /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S50pgstartstop error reading information on service S50pgstartstop: No such file or directory <snip> [root@ip-10-161-99-142 ~]# ls -l /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S50pgstartstop lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Aug 26 13:28 /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S50pgstartstop -> /etc/init.d/pgstartstop <snip> The script: #! /bin/sh # chkconfig: 235 99 01 # description: pgstart & stop touch /var/lock/subsys/S50pgstartstop case "$1" in start) /usr/bin/pgstart ;; stop) /usr/bin/pgstop ;; restart) /bin/sh $0 stop /bin/sh $0 start ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}" exit 1;; esac <snip> The file is there. Any clue as to how I can fix this? Again, many thanks.
