Sorry if you wrote via e-mail or left a comment in the past month or so and I didn't respond. I made a DNS change, broke stuff and consequently wasn't notified of any new comments or e-mails. I promise to respond when I get a chance. The DNS change also broke Akismet so I've gotta sift through about 2500 spams too.. nasty.
A friend showed me this and I've used it a few times since. Here's the easiest way to make a service auto start or stop after reboot:
chkconfig servicename on to auto-start and chkconfig servicename off to stop auto-startup.
Thanks, Lenny! Also, can anyone remind me what command I use to add regular user bins to root's path? (ie. add /usr/bin)
