Initial Code 
We'll use tomcat as an example, as it doesnt have a script by default

1. Make a tomcat startup script called /etc/init.d/tomcat
1.a Ensure that you can call it with start and stop parameters
1.b Make sure these lines are present (after the #! line):

#
# chkconfig: 345 98 98
# description: Tomcat Catalina server for running IDP software
#

2. Use the following command: chkconfig --add tomcat
3. Then to get it to start at bootup, use: chkconfig tomcat on
4. If you need to check the status of any service, use: chkconfig --list <service name>

note that the numbers in the chkconfig: line represent 1) the runlevels (3, 4 & 5 in this case) the service will run at. 2) the start priority 3) the stop priority

                                        Initial Description
                                        

                                    

                                    
This allows you to make any software begin at system startup time. Remember that runlevel 3 is basic console and runlevel 5 is GUI (XWindows/Gnome/KDE etc).
