[Dxspider-support] How to set up auto restart of DX spider in Centos 6?

[Mike McCarthy, W1NR]

Adding the script to init.d is step one. You need to enable the 
"service" using a runlevel editor like chkconfig. You can start the 
cluster using "service start dxspider".

chkconfig will create a link to the script (in init.d) in one or more of 
the runlevel directories (rc0.d through rc5.d). When the system boots it 
will run the scripts in the rc directory that corresponds to the 
runlevel. In general, you should probably have dxspider start in 
runlevels 3 (non-graphical) and 5 (graphical).
