How to start and stop Qpopper automatically.

1). Create a new file "/etc/rc.d/init.d/qpopper" with the following content:

#!/bin/sh
# description: Start and Stop QPopper
# chkconfig: 2345 99 00

case "$1" in
'start')
/usr/local/bin/popper
touch /var/lock/subsys/qpopper
;;
'stop')
killall -9 popper
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/qpopper
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
;;
esac
exit 0

2). Make the file executable:

$> chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/init.d/qpopper

3). Copy the file to several other init directories:

$> cp /etc/rc.d/init.d/qpopper /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S99qpopper
$> cp /etc/rc.d/init.d/qpopper /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99qpopper
$> cp /etc/rc.d/init.d/qpopper /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99qpopper

You can now start and stop Qpopper with the following commands

$> /etc/rc.d/init.d/qpopper start
$> /etc/rc.d/init.d/qpopper stop

and Qpopper will start automatically when you boot RH Linux.
