On SLES, we use chkconfig to add the script to the startup.
chkconfig hobbit on
will set up the startup and shutdown links correctly. Linux flavors
that don't support chkconfig you'll have to set up the links manually
(or use whatever tool your dist provides).
The standard startup process will automatically pass start and stop to
the script at the proper time. You can invoke it manually eg: './hobbit
start'.

I'd like to automate startup of hobbit at boot time.
If I make a link from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hobbit.sh to the startup
script
in /usr/local/...hobbit/server/hobbit.sh, how do I get it to start
using the user account 'hobbit' ?
Is there another preferred technic ?
Rich,
Thanks for the reply. I think I follow the script. If I'm correct,
when the script runs, something passes to the script, a stop, start,
or restart command.
But how does this occur? Does simply putting this script in
../etc/rc.d/ make it automatic, or is it a combination of the former +
adding something like "hobbit_enable='YES' " withing the rc.conf file
?
Thanks
Don
