+'''Update for Mandrake Linux'''
+
+If you're running Mandrake or any distro that uses config files in the
/etc/rc.d/init.d directory, there're two much simpler ways. Well, two ways of
doing the same thing actually. The first is to create a file in the
/etc/rc.d/init.d directory called james with the following contents (remember
to replace /home/james/james with the actual location of your james
installation):
+
+{{{
+ #!/bin/sh
+ # description: JAMES Mail Server
+ # chkconfig: 2345 99 00
+
+ case "$1" in
+ 'start')
+ /home/james/james/bin/phoenix.sh start
+ touch /var/lock/subsys/james
+ ;;
+ 'stop')
+ /home/james/james/bin/phoenix.sh stop
+ rm -f /var/lock/subsys/james
+ ;;
+ *)
+ echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
+ ;;
+ esac
+ exit 0
+}}}
+
+Alternatively, if you've got webmin installed, go to the system section and
select "Bootup and Shutdown". Near the top of the page you'll see a link to
create a new bootup and shutdown action. You can use that to create a service
that's run at startup and shutdown. Just specify the comand:
+
+{{{
+ /home/james/james/bin/phoenix.sh start
+}}}
+
+in the box where it asks you for the bootup commands, and specify this command
in the box where it asks for the shutdown commands:
+
+{{{
+ /home/james/james/bin/phoenix.sh stop
+}}}
+
+That should be it. You can test it by running
+
+{{{
+ /etc/rc.d/init.d/james start
+}}}
+
+to start and
+
+{{{
+ /etc/rc.d/init.d/james start
+}}}
+
+to stop it.
