You can do this with the builtin chkconfig utility:
This command show you all the services and their status on each runlevel.
If you don't see your service in it (mysqld for example?), you can add it.
You also need to set it to ON, in the desired runlevel.
For servers this is mostly runlevel 3.
Code: Select all
sudo /sbin/chkconfig --level 3 mysqld on
Now it should start when the system is rebooted.
For the record the runlevels:
0 - Halt
1 - Single-user text mode
2 - Not used (user-definable)
3 - Full multi-user text mode
4 - Not used (user-definable)
5 - Full multi-user graphical mode (with an X-based login screen)
6 - Reboot
