I vaguely recall being able to auto set various /etc/rc levels based on /etc/init.d/scriptname. I am about to create the sym links by hand but wondering if any one has a shortcut to auto set the links?

chkconfig?

And the init scripts can have a header in them giving the default settings for chkconfig. It looks like this:

# chkconfig: 2345 55 25

This line (taken from sshd) says that this service should run in run levels 2, 3, 4, and 5 with a start priority of 55 and a stop priority of 25.

If the service doesn't have any links in the rc*.d directories yet, 'chkconfig --add svcname' will create the start and stop links based on the chkconfig line in the script file.
