Startup / Shutdown Script for RedHat and Mandrake

All of the information below assumes you are logged in as root.

Here is a script for RedHat- it needs to reside in /etc/init.d/

It is based on a script by John Zoetebier for SuSE (The HOWTO forum has the original script for SuSE).

You might need to adjust the value of the popfile_home variable if you didn't install popfile to /usr/popfile (e.g. popfile_home=/usr/local/popfile).

You will need to add the command to the startup process by typing:

chkconfig --add popfile

and then

chkconfig popfile on

This will enable popfile to start on boot based on the chkconfig setting in the script below.

You will also need to make the 'popfile' script executable by typing:

chmod uga+x popfile

which makes it executable by everyone (all, group, user). If you only want root to run the script, then use:

chmod u+x popfile

# A shell-script wrapper for popfile designed for use in the SysV-init

#
#
# usage: popfile { start | stop | restart | }

# LSB comment block...
#
# The bogus 345 run-levels are a workround for a buggy RedHat chkconfig which
# reads the LSB comment block (incorrectly) as an undocumented 'feature'.
