Description

I'm using Fedora Core 4 and wanted to start Continuum on startup, so I followed the instructions below:

http://maven.apache.org/continuum/guides/mini/guide-linux-boot.html

FC (and any RH-based distro) doesn't have the update-rc.d script; instead, they have chkconfig. So, I created the link on /etc/rc.d and tried to enable continuum on chkconfig, but it failed:

[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...

I could provide a patch, but I don't know how the script is generated. So, long story short, this issue requires 2 changes:

• add the comment above in the run.sh script (or whatever generates it)
• update the documentation (URL above)
