[snip] #!/bin/sh <scriptname> start (or) <scriptname> stop [/snip]
It is a shell script. They are usually placed in /usr/local/bin/ and chmod'd to execute. To run it you type this at the command line; scriptname start (or) scriptname stop This script accepts one argument, either 'stop' or 'start' [/snip] I should have added that you can run them from other folders using the './scriptname arg' from the command line.
