README.SLACKWARE for pommed This package installs an rc.pommed script that should be called from rc.local (and optionally rc.local_shutdown) like so: In rc.local: # Start pommed if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.pommed ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.pommed start fi In rc.local_shutdown: # Stop pommed if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.pommed ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.pommed stop fi It is also necessary to reload the messagebus service: /etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus reload
