[clue] [Tech] Red Hat Ent Server runlevels

[chris fedde]

The easiest approach is to copy na init.d script for something simple
like cron and modify it for your purposes.  If done right then your
script will work with chkconfig.   The mechanisms are pretty straight
forward but I think it is easier to work from an example than to craft
something from whole cloth.
