Configuring

Bootscript

Create the bootscript:

cat > /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcdbd << "EOF"
#!/bin/sh
# Begin $rc_base/init.d/dhcdbd

. /etc/sysconfig/rc
. ${rc_functions}

case "${1}" in
        start)
                boot_mesg "Starting dhcdbd..."
                loadproc /sbin/dhcdbd --system
                ;;

        stop)
                boot_mesg "Stopping dhcdbd..."
                killproc /sbin/dhcdbd
                ;;

        restart)
                ${0} stop
                sleep 1
                ${0} start
                ;;

        status)
                statusproc /sbin/dhcdbd
                ;;

        *)
                echo "Usage: ${0} {start|stop|restart|status}"
                exit 1
                ;;
esac

# End $rc_base/init.d/dhcdbd
EOF
chmod -v 754 /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcdbd

Link it into the runlevels:

for link in /etc/rc.d/rc{{0,1,6}.d/K25,{2,3,4,5}.d/S25}dhcdbd; do
  ln -sfv ../init.d/dhcdbd $link;
done
