Operating system name and version: CentOS 4.8
Version of smsd: 3.1.6
Smsd installed from: sources
Name and model of a modem / phone: Wavecom Fastrack S10
Interface: serial

I wanted to have sms3 to be started on boot time. So I did these:

[root@lab ~]# cd /etc/init.d/
[root@lab init.d]# chkconfig sms3 on
service sms3 does not support chkconfig
[root@lab init.d]#


What have I done wrong? I am no sysadmin. Please advise.


( btw, I am able to start sms3 with this command /etc/init.d/sms3 start )

That command works on Debian, even when there is no "init info" in the sms3 script. Perhaps this is the reason why chkconfig does not work on CentOS.

Edit the file /etc/init.d/sms3. Insert those lines which are shown bold and red:


Hopefully this change helps.
