starting service automatically on reboot

Via the command line, how do I set up services to start automatically after reboot, for example, squid, httpd ?

Thanks,

Set up a logon script.
1-Go in your home directory.
2-Open .bashrc
3-Put your command there

Everytime you are going to log on every commands that you put there will run at startup.

I hope that will help.

goodluck !

msteiner,
You do not tell us what your distro is, and as they often do things differently, that makes it difficult for us to offer tailored advice.
Many distros have a graphical setup for "system services", where you can start them, stop them, and set them to start at boot, or not.
If you want to do it from the command line, learn about the files in /etc/rc?.d/ /etc/init.d/ and the contents of /etc/rc.local

Just reading some of those files should give you the idea.
