It was my understanding(from what ive read)that you can start and stop daemons by typing the following:
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/XXX (start, stop, restart)
My problem is, now that I know a fair amount about Linux itself and how it works, im trying to teach myself how to finally use it for somthing usefull(Apache, BIND, DHCP, etc).
Well I install Apache 1.3.24 from source and try to configure it to start at boot. My understanding was that services, when installed, create startup scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d/XXX which I can then point to in my runlevel directories with symbolic links using the naming convention "S85httpd" for example.
What im confused about is no matter what I install(Apache, BIND, DHCP) nothing puts that all important startup script in /etc/rc.d/init.d except the services I installed when I installed Linux itself. Im obviously missing somthing. Its annoying having to execute each service manually every boot. Can anyone clear up my confusion? Thx
