I'm not sure what version of Linux you're using, or how it does things...
A number of years ago, I was running a Linux machine on RedHat 7.1. I
created an lp5250d.sh script that went into /etc/rc.d/init.d, and then
I had symlinks called K20lp5250d and S20lp5250d going from the
/etc/rc.d/rc0.d and /etc/rc.d/rc3.d /etc/rc.d/rc6.d directories.
The script would start lp5250d when the system started, and kill it
when the system shut down.
Here's what the script looked like:
#!/bin/sh
# This is used to start the as400 printers automagically
# as the computer boots and shut it down, upon request.
#
# Under the start) section -- make sure you set up the printer
# names so that they match tn5250rc!!
# all this script does is set the PATH, and then launch lp5250d:
lp5250d=/usr/local/bin/lp5250d-loader.sh
#exec >/dev/null
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
case $1 in
start)
echo -n "Starting lp5250d sessions:" >&2
daemon "${lp5250d} PRT01"
daemon "${lp5250d} PRT02"
daemon "${lp5250d} PRT03"
echo
touch /var/lock/subsys/lp5250d
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down lp5250d:" >&2
killproc lp5250d
echo
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/lp5250d
;;
*)
echo "usage: `basename $0` {start|stop}" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac
