[lug] Apache start on boot

[Scott A. Herod]

Note, that if you add:

# chkconfig: 2345 08 92
# description: My start and stop script.

(Yes it needs to be commented.)

to the start of your script in init.d, you can use chkconfig to
automatically
set the Start and Kill symlinks for you.  See the chkconfig man page and
some of the existing init.d scripts.
