OS: CentOS 5 x86.
There is a program I am using which requires a start up service running. The service runs in Runlevels 3,4,5. When I am using the program as a root it works fine. When I am using it as a user it produces an error.
If I do as a root, /etc/init.d/program start, then I can use it as a simple user. I have emailed the company that makes it and had no response. Any idea on how to fix this?
Assuming this initscript is written correctly, 'chkconfig --add program' should do it. Then you can inspect if it is enabled in which runlevel with 'chkconfig --list program', and change it with 'chkconfig program on|off'.
If it is not written correctly, then make symlinks to the runlevel directories. For example: ln -s ../init.d/program /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99program
