The quoting in this thread is so confused I'm not going to try and
unravel it.
The Sytem -> Preferences -> Startup Applications menu item is only for
desktop applications running in a session. That is quite a bit different
than system services, sometimes called daemons. Typically the radius
service is installed under the name radiusd following the convention
that daemons have a "d" appended to them. That means you're trying to
control a system service not a session based desktop application. This
is done at the command prompt level with chkconfig or via a gui with
system-config-services.

If you build from source and you don't know what a System V Initscript
is then the algorithm is:
1) Stop
2) Install the pre-built package with all this stuff already figured
out, tested, and done for you so you don't have to learn how to build
from source *and* integrate with the OS, all the while making a lot of
learning curve mistakes.
Installing pre-built packages typically takes 1 minute of your time.
Wasn't that easier?
Fedora, RHEL, and CentOS all have current packages available. See
