Jason,

I had the same problem with an app I wrote a howto for, I did get advice and you can see the proper SME way of doing this at the end of my howto:

Big thanks to Michiel Blotwijk for finally finding out the SME way of achieving this!!
Change to the local events directory:
[root@esmith root]# cd /etc/e-smith/events/local
Download start-up script:
[root@esmith local]# wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/cbharda/contrib/netprobe/netprobestart
Change permissions on the file:
[root@esmith local]# chmod 750 netprobestart
Now netprobe will automatically start when you reboot!

Probably just change the script to suit your needs :-)

this seams fairly complicated to start one line. when the machine boots if i go to the conslole do the cdwserver start command it starts the process so i can burn i just want to add this line to the initial startup to start the service. Do i really need to do all this to start the service on start up
