[SunHELP] Solaris 8 init.d startup scripts

[Ben Ricker]

You need to create a secondary script that just calls the script in 
init.d, giving it the 'start' parameter. A sample:

#!/bin/sh

/etc/init.d/oracle start

Put this small script in rc3.d. Create the kill script (send a 'stop' 
instead of 'start') in rc0.d.
