OpenDJ init scripts for RHEL

OpenDJ comes with a little script that will generate a nice Red Hat Enterprise chkconfig compatible init script for you. Here's how to use it. To generate an init script, go into the bin directory under your OpenDJ install and run the "create-rc-script" command (for example /opt/opendj/ds-user1/bin/create-rc-script). Following are some typical use cases. For a script that will run the directory as a non-root user, in this example "opendj" (where it will listen on ports above 1000):

[root@test1 bin]% ./create-rc-script -u opendj -j /usr/lib/jvm/java -f /etc/init.d/ds-user1

The "-u" option sets the name of the user you want the server to run as. Once you have generated your script it needs to be copied under /etc/init.d and have chkconfig run against it (as root, "/sbin/chkconfig ds-user1 --add" and then "/sbin/chkconfig ds-user1 on").
