How to start QICWARE automatically on Red Hat Linux

To use this script move the file to /etc/rc.d/init.d/qicware. Make sure the file has an owner of root:root and that the mode is -rwxr-xr-x. As root you should now be able to type 'service qicware start' and 'service qicware stop'.

If you're interested in having QICWARE shutdown and start with the system you can set it to start automatically by going to the Services applet in Gnome / KDE (or Control | Control panel | Control service activity in linuxconf) or simply issue the following command.

# chkconfig --add qicware

This will cause the following links to be created.

# find /etc/rc.d -name "*qicware" -print
/etc/rc.d/init.d/qicware
/etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K15qicware
/etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K15qicware
/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K15qicware
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S85qicware
/etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S85qicware
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S85qicware
/etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K15qicware
#

You can prevent QICWARE from starting automatically by issuing the following command.

[root@sprout init.d]# chkconfig --del qicware
