Re: How do I start a perl daemon at boot time

This all looks good, but you've forgotten one thing: you need to create appropriate symlinks in the /etc/rcX.d directories.

On RedHat, this is usually done using the chkconfig utility. See "man chkconfig".

Hi, Thanks for your promt reply. Is it me who posted the questions but I do not know why my name was not registered. To be honest the interface it is a little hard to use. I must admit I am a little confused. Could you be more specific. I came from a Windows background and in Widows I can perform this operation with 3 - 4 mouse clicks. I had to switch to Fedora for secutiry reasons. I did spent 2 days on this. I know it is not hard, I just do not know why it is not working.	[reply]

Just like windows has the differentiation between normal operations and 'safe mode', unix-y operating systems have a concept of 'run level' ... and you need to specify which run level should start the process. The Unix System Administration Handbook is a good introductory tome, and the third edition includes linux. Update: It seems there's now a Linux System Administrator's Handbook, which is cheaper, and more recently published, so I assume more up-to-date. (I haven't read it, but it's by the same authors (mostly))	[reply]
