If it does, you should be able to register "horde" with chkconfig by putting some appropriate comments at the top of your file and running 'chkconfig --add'.  See chkconfig(8).  Be sure this doesn't start at any run level (ie. don't link it into /etc/rc.d/rc?.d/) but rather it should be run manually directly from /etc/rc.d/init.d or via "service".

That reminds me...what is "\i", escape notation for something uncommon?
I guess I'm wondering, in the context of sql, what is the desired
meaning of "\i"?
