starting a service at boot? 1

[delfy]

i normally start a service like this

/etc/rc.d/init.d/psql start

how can i get it to start at boot?

If you are using Redhat, Fedora, Centos:

chkconfig --add psql (optional)
chkconfig --level 35 psql on


Otherwise you get into an effort to symlink from the
/etc/rc.d/init.d/psql into
/etc/rc3.d/

on Debian (and debian-based distros as Ubuntu)

update-rc.d psql start NN 3 5 stop NN 3 5

where NN is the start number i.e.:

/etc/rc3.d/SNNpsql
/etc/rc3.d/KNNpsql

I believe mandrake uses chkconfig as well. I know mandriva does.
