[rhn-users] How to create startup script which start and stop certain services automatically.

[Christopher L. Barnard]

Put the script to start the app in /etc/rc2.d.  The filename should
start with a capital S.  The two digit number is the order in which the
script will be run in reference to the rest of the scripts in that
directory.
Put the script to stop the app in /etc/rc0.d.  The filename should start
with a capital K.  The two digit number is again the order in which the
script will be run in reference to the rest of the scripts in that
directory.

You can put it all in one script, and that is much easier for other
individuals to understand what you are doing.  For 'start', the script
is called with the command line parameter of "start".   Likewise 'stop'
is called with the command line parameter of "stop".  So just switch on
the command line parameter and you can put the script in /etc/init.d
with a symlink to /etc/rc2.d/S****** and to /etc/rc0.d/K******
