Re: Auto Start a service

[Sean /The RIMBoy/ <sean@rimboy.com>]

The easiest way, if you are running RH, is to stick the path of the daemon
in rc.local.

rc.local is in

/etc/rc.d/rc.local

rc.local is the last of the initscripts to start, please keep this in mind
if you want it to start earlier than that (of course, networking has to
start before sshd)

You will need to provide the full path ie

/usr/sbin/sshd

in order for this to work.

More or less, all of the info to startup and shutdown your system is in
the rc.d folder... although this can vary from distro to distro and from
*nix type to type.  The numbers and the letters associated with the names
tell the startup or shutdown process what order things need to be
processed in.
