hi there, I have been using fedora linux for quite some time now and I have been able to build several software programs from source. But sometimes I want that software to start automatically. Therefore I would like to add those programs to the 'services' in Fedora, but I don't see how it is done. Does anyone know a good tutorial that explains how it all works?
You need to write an initscript and put it in /etc/rc.d/init.d. You'll find many examples in that directory. You can then configure the service to be started automatically (or not) using chkconfig. See "man chkconfig" for details.
