Pretty sure I recall being able to put an init script in /etc/rc.d/init.d and then that script would be seen by such tools as chkconfig setup ntsysv would see it and be be able to setup the symlink. That doesn't seem to work for me now. I've built a cvs source for spamassassin, and installed an init script - /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin ls -l /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1220 Sep 10 00:22 /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin This script actually works when called with service spamassassin status/start/restart etc But isn't seen by the above mentioned tools. The online manual for 8 has two sections that look promising sysv init init runlevels Neither tells how to intall a `service' script so it will be recognized. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
