[clue] [Tech] Red Hat Ent Server runlevels

[adam bultman]

The best, albeit more complicated way, would be to make your script
something that 'chkconfig' could understand and use.  That way, you
could put your script in /etc/init.d, and then do a 'chkconfig myscript
on', and it would add all the necessary symlinks to run your service at
the default runlevels.

That's what I do.  I usually just take an existing script, and edit it
to suit my purposes.
