How to start mysql.server and postfix at boot

[satimis]

Hi folks,


Debian Etch


I installed mysql and postfix from source. They can be started with:

# /etc/init.d/mysql.server start
# /usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/mysql.server start
# postfix start

Both are now running. But I can't make them started at boot. Tried on /etc/rc.local;

mysql - testing them one by one

/etc/init.d/mysql.server
/etc/init.d/mysql.server start
echo /etc/init.d/mysql.server start
/usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/mysql.server
/usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/mysql.server start
echo /usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/mysql.server start
etc.

none of them can work.

postfix - testing them one by one

postfix start
echo postfix start
/usr/sbin/postfix start
echo /usr/sbin/postfix start
echo /usr/sbin/postfix
etc.

none of them can work.


However both of follows on /etc/rc.local

/usr/local/bind/sbin/named -u named -t /usr/local/bind -c /etc/named.conf
/usr/local/sbin/clamd
su - amavis -c "/usr/local/sbin/amavisd"

work without problem.


Please advise how to get mysql.server and postfix started at boot. TIA
