How do I install Urchin startup scripts on RedHat?

There is an Urchin startup script that is created upon installation. It is named "urchin_daemons" and is located in the Urchin util directory. "/path/to/urchin/util/"

Copy this script into the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory.

cd /path/to/urchin/util

cp urchin_daemons /etc/rc.d/init.d/

chmod +x /etc/rc.d/init.d/urchin_daemons

Look at the /etc/inittab file and determine the default run level (usually 3). [[See below]]

Then change into the /etc/rc.d/rcX.d (where X is the run level).

cd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d

Create symbolic links that point to /etc/rc.d/init.d/urchin_daemons that are named S95urchin and K05urchin.

ln -s ../init.d/urchin_daemons S95urchin

ln -s ../init.d/urchin_daemons K05urchin

[[ # Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
