creating a service, add to chkconfig in fedora

Save your script in
/etc/init.d/ with exe permissions

statement contain the runlevels to enable the script at, the value to use after the “S” in the start scripts, and the value to use after the “K” in the kill scripts

Lets say file name is vikas
Now

ln -s /etc/init.d/vikas /etc/rc1.d/k97vikas
ln -s /etc/init.d/vikas /etc/rc2.d/k97vikas
ln -s /etc/init.d/vikas /etc/rc3.d/k97vikas
ln -s /etc/init.d/vikas /etc/rc4.d/k97vikas
ln -s /etc/init.d/vikas /etc/rc4.d/S97vikas
ln -s /etc/init.d/vikas /etc/rc5.d/S97vikas
ln -s /etc/init.d/vikas /etc/rc5.d/k97vikas
ln -s /etc/init.d/vikas /etc/rc6.d/S97vikas
ln -s /etc/init.d/vikas /etc/rc6.d/k97vikas


make the symbolic links in the appropriate run levels i.e rc(1-6). dir as above starting from S and K

Add as service
chkconfig --add vikas
