Hi, I'm attempting to create a startup script for krb5kdc daemon to start automatically at the booting of system. And here is my content of krb5kdc script: [code] ************************************************************************************* #! /bin/bash # # krb5kdc Start/Stop the krb5kdc daemon. # # chkconfig: - 9 60 # description: # processname: krb5kdc # config: # pidfile: # Source function library. . /etc/init.d/functions RETVAL=0 # See how we were called. prog="krb5kdc" start() { echo -n $"Starting $prog: " daemon krb5kdc RETVAL=$? echo [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/krb5kdc return $RETVAL } stop() { echo -n $"Stopping $prog: " killproc krb5kdc RETVAL=$? echo [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/krb5kdc return $RETVAL } rhstatus() { status krb5kdc } restart() { stop start } reload() { echo -n $"Reloading krb5kdc daemon configuration: " killproc krb5kdc -HUP retval=$? echo return $RETVAL } case "$1" in start) start ;; stop) stop ;; restart) restart ;; reload) reload ;; status) rhstatus ;; krb5kdcrestart) [ -f /var/lock/subsys/krb5kdc ] && restart || : ;; *) echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|reload|restart|krb5kdcrestart}" exit 1 esac exit $? *************************************************************************************[/code] then I place this file in /etc/rc.d/init.d directory and use chkconfig --add krb5kdc I got : service krb5kdc does not support chkconfig Any suggestion please. Thank you.

What Linux distribution are you running? You'd be better of using the /etc/rc.local file. Just put your script in the /etc/rc.local file and it will run during every boot. Cheers!

I'm using Redhat Enterprise AS 3. However, I build krb5kdc manually without using of rpm.

Instead of chkconfig --add krb5kdc command try this chkconfig krb5kdc on I wonder if that'll work.

I received the same error. Thank you very much for your help. Anyway, I appreciate your help. Any suggestion please :)

[code=xml][root@localhost init.d]# chkconfig --add continuum service continuum does not support chkconfig Looking at the shell script, it's missing the chkconfig commentaries, so I added them: #! /bin/sh 1. chkconfig: 345 20 80 2. description: Maven Continuum server Now everything is fine: [root@localhost init.d]# chkconfig --add continuum [root@localhost init.d]# chkconfig continuum on [root@localhost init.d]# service continuum start Starting continuum...[/code] perhaps it can help you http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-655

now I understand that description must not be empty. Thanks.
