Add Service to boot at Start

Hi,

I wonder how could I start my ruby on rails mongrel_cluster at the start of my openSUSE 11.0 Server and I don’t have a GUI. So the shell solution would be good.

Thx,

Frank Bechstein

This is the sample SysV init script that was provided for mongrel_cluster for RH style distros. You have to edit it to add the metadata that you see in the sample file /etc/init.d/skeleton on SUSE distributions. Then install using chkconfig.
