In order to support chkconfig, an init script must:
1. It must be located in /etc/rc.d/init.d (which /etc/init.d is a symlink to)
2. It must be executable (chmod +x /etc/rc.d/init.d/
2. It should have a commented out line that contains “chkconfig:
3. A commented out line that contains “description: ”
4. Upon a successful startup of the service, place a lock file in /var/lock/subsys that matches the name of the service script. Upon a successful service shutdown, the lockfile must be removed.
An example is shown below.
#!/bin/sh
#
# My Process
#
# chkconfig: 2345 60 20
# description: My process
