add service to "system services list"?

two questions about the following script i created

Code:

#!/bin/bash

test=$1

if [ "$test" = "start" ]

    then

    /usr/local/sbin/LCDd -d MtxOrb&

    sleep 1

    /usr/bin/mtxorb /dev/lcd

    sleep 1

    /usr/local/bin/lcdproc K -d

else

    if [ "$test" = "stop" ]

        then

        killall lcdproc

        killall LCDd

    else

        if [ "$test" = "restart" ]

            then

            killall lcdproc

            sleep 1

            killall LCDd

            sleep 1

            /usr/local/sbin/LCDd -d MtxOrb&

            sleep 1

            /usr/bin/mtxorb /dev/lcd

            sleep 1

            /usr/local/bin/lcdproc K -d

        else

            echo restart start or stop

        fi

    fi

fi

the purpose is to start and stop LCDd and a clock lcdproc client

first question, how could this perhaps be made more efficient

second of all, i put it in /etc/rc.d/init.d and linked it to the proper names in the /etc/rc.d/rcX.d directories, how do i get it to appear under "system services" within the "setup" program so it can start and stop on runlevel change?

opps, third, how do i get it to say
starting lcd [ OK ] or [ FAIL ]
and
stoping lcd [ OK ] or [ FAIL ]

when invoked?

the file /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit has all that ok/failed stuff,

shuffle it into there or put it into rc.5.

chkconfig --add servicename

that rc[X].d stuff is for chkconfig
the setup program is a front for chkconfig
try...

chkconfig --add servicename

where servicename is the name of the script you added to /etc/rc.d/init.d

not sure about the [ok] stuff.

chkconfig --help is useful.
