Redhat (and derivatives such as fedora or cAos/CentOS) use the chkconfig
and service commands, as well as the Network Services GUI (or whatever
it's called), to control the stuff in /etc/init.d, like so:

[root@copernicus root]# chkconfig --list hylafax
hylafax         0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

[root@copernicus root]# service hylafax status
hfaxd (pid 1358) is running...
faxq (pid 1354) is running...

So to start Hylafax on this type of system, you would check that it was
enabled in the proper runlevels:

[root@copernicus root]# chkconfig --level 345 hylafax on

and then start it like so:

[root@copernicus root]# service hylafax start

That said, you can still call the init.d scripts directly, as in the
first reply above.  Recent versions of RedHat, et al, should have a
bunch of symlinks in /etc that point to rc.d/init.d and all the rc*.d
directories.

Or, you can just run the Services GUI...

HTH, Steve
