Nice answer, Leendert ..
I have recently been learing about this, and it seems that you are right, and as long as skeleton is used as a template and the resulting script is left in /etc/init.d, then when chkconfig runs -- the sym links get added automagically to the rc<x>.d directories, and all is good.
But, it seems to me that the init.d process is really intended for service daemons -- isn't xmms just an audio player?
Yups.
I think both KDE and GNOME have a method for "autostarting" user applications like xmms ...
Good catch, Peter! :) (And I was so close... :P) Of course I knew about it, but since the word 'autostart' was not mentioned, I did not think about it... It seems Sergey unintentionally "disguised" his real problem well. Cheers, Leen
