And possibly put that into /etc/rc.local or the equivalent, because it
sounds like you're expecting the services to automatically start on
boot.

There was some talk about writing init scripts back in July -
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.education.libraries.open-ils.devel/1882/match=init+scripts
and before that in January -
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.education.libraries.open-ils.devel/801/match=init+scripts
- but I don't think any code ever came out of those discussions.
