If you are running FC5 with the latest initscripts, take a look at
/usr/share/doc/initscripts-8.31.5/sysvinitfiles. If you are running
an earlier version, change the version number to match. It describes
the format of the file, as well as how to use the different
functions in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
