How to add a perl script as a system startup daemon in redhat
 

Hello,

I have a perlscript. I want to run that script at system startup(as a
startup daemon) in redhat.
i have put that script in /etc/init.d and try adding that to chkconfig using
[root@localhost init.d]# chkconfig --add changehttpadress
service changehttpadress does not support chkconfig
but that wont work since its a perl script(not bash).

So how can i run that in system startup. Need to add any daemon modules in
the perl script so that chkconfig will detect that as a valid service ?

Any suggestions and solutions is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Do you have comments in the script that are similar to
these from atd? These are required to make chkconfig work.

# chkconfig: 345 95 5
# description: Runs commands scheduled by the at command at the time
# specified when at was run, and runs batch commands when the load
# average is low enough.
# processname: atd

Note that you also have to create a file in /var/lock/subsystem
if you want the service to stop gracefully at shutdown. For
example the atd script uses this: touch /var/lock/subsys/atd

I'll be interested to know if these two additions to a perl
script make it start and stop as expected.
