I have a question about how to start and stop daemons. I have been using Redhat Linux for a long time now, and have become familiar with the System V type initilization, where I can tyep /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop in order to stop a process, and /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail start to start it again. What is the simplest way to start and stop daemons that are not controlled by inetd? Do I have to explicitly invoke each daemon, like sendmail -bd if I want to start it, and then hunt down the PID and use a kill command in order to kill it? I have found very little documentation on this so far, so any help would be much appreciated.
