[NTLUG:Discuss] Start up services

[Jim Wildman]

You have to do it at least in the runlevel that is listed as your default
in /etc/inittab.

RedHat (and perhaps others) has a package called chkconfig which automates
the process of adding and deleting the links (thus adding or deleting a
program from the startup).  It doesn't look like it can rearrange the order
within a run level.
