Best way to do this is to copy an existing script to create your own. I
have a sample script if you are interested that works under rh7.3. In the
script, you can specify info that chkconfig can use, otherwise, chkconfig
will not work:

######################################################################
# chkconfig information:                                             #
######################################################################
# chkconfig: 35 11 90
# description: rc script to start, stop, restart, and get the \
# status of the voxbo daemon.
