services...

i'm running redhat linux 8.0. how do i manually add new services to /etc/rc.d/init.d? Everytime i copy a file into it (ie: mysqld), it doesn't show up on the serviceconf console

by the way, I'm running the graphical version

Have you made the file executable?

yes

Well, I don't know exactly how serviceconf works (it is possible that it only plays with existing symlinks), but can't you just install the symlinks manually instead?

You must add the service with the chkconfig command like this...

Code:

---

chkconfig --add mysqld

---

And then you tell which runlevel the service should start.

Code:

---

chkconfig --level 012456 mysqld off
chkconfig --level 3 mysqld on

---
