service 1

[fluid11]

On a Red Hat 7.2 system, where does the "service" command read from? For example, you can use "service" to stop/start/restart daemons and services on the system like this...

service smb start
service named restart

I'd like to add some programs to be able to use the "service" command like above.

Thanks,
Chris

The service command simply starts, restarts or stops services located in /etc/rc.d/init.d (depending on how the script is written)

Have a look at the scripts in these directories, and you can get a good idea of how to write your own.
