Why not add a chkconfig line to the script and let 'chkconfig --add imapd'
after copying the script to /etc/rc.d/init.d/imapd. You can then use
chkconfig to do all of the messy stuff with links and can use chkconfig to
turn off/on the script at will...
Example of chkconfig line:
# chkconfig: 2345 55 25
# description: Cyrus IMAPD
the chkconfig line is: runlevel(s) start-priority stop-priority
So, adding the above would create links in /etc/rc.d/rc[0-6].d to start
server in levels 2,3,4,5 and stop in levels 0,1,6.
