OK on this path tip. I just made the change now so I will be ready for it.
Thanks for the tip.

And I recently discovered chkconfig too so I will be using it if I can ever
make up a few scripts here. I had been just making up a file and putting it
in /etc/rc.d/init.d but it had nothing in it other than 3 lines (give or
take) which was simply the commands I wanted to run. Of course one sees funny
things when shutting the system down because the system can't 'stop' those
files. That is why I have to learn a bit about those scripts so I can make up
a few 'good' ones that will not only work properly but will look pretty..
