Q. How do I make a Linux service (daemon) start at boot?
A. Here are the basic RedHat/Fedora daemon commands.
Make a service start every time at boot and start it now:
chkconfig --level 2345 $SERVICE on
service $SERVICE start
Where $SERVICE is your service, eg httpd
Make a service no longer start at boot and stop now:
chkconfig --level 123456 $SERVICE off
service $SERVICE stop
See if a service will start at boot:
chkconfig --list $SERVICE
There is also a GUI.
