not only "enough", but correct process. Startup scripts are used to create/emulate the system boot environment. If you just want to temporarily run a process, run it, as you did. Now, for proper system admin, you really should reboot your machine after changing the config to make sure you changed the config properly (and it comes back up without you playing "Super Admin", rushing in to fix it after a reboot), but these scripts can minimize the reboots. If you think you have properly activated a daemon, and yet "/etc/rc.d/bla start" doesn't work, you can be fairly sure it won't work on reboot, too.
