If you're using redhat or SuSE linux, a script in redhat like this could
help
#!/bin/sh
# to start qmail pop3d
case "$1" in
start )
echo "starting qmail pop3d"
/path to/tcpserver 0 pop3 etc etc....
;;
stop )
echo "shutting down qmail pop3d"
killall -9 qmail-pop3d
;;
* ) echo "usage {start|stop}"
;;
esac
pu this as say qmail-pop3d in /etc/rc.d/init.d for redhat or /sbin/init.d
for SuSE.
then if say you start in runlevel 3 change to /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc3.d and
put symbolic links like say S35qmail-pop3d and K35qmail-pop3d both
pointing to your script. this should start qmail-pop3d on boot. of course
for suse that would mean /sbin/init.d/rc3.d or whatever runlevel it is
that you boot into.
