How do I start service at boot?

Hello,

  I am relatively new to arch, so I have played with it since .3 on and off but never as a server.  Right now I can start mysql, httpd and exim just fine, but they don't seem to be starting up at boot time.  How do I fix this?

Thanks,
mrjohnston

Hi mrjohnston,

You have to add an entry for each daemon in the DAEMONS array in the file /etc/rc.conf.  If you add "exim" (for example) to the DAEMONS line, the file /etc/rc.d/exim will be executed, and that should get it started at bootup.

Cheers.
