service X does not support chkconfig

Here is how to fix this:

(Assume the name of my script is myscript)

1 – Copy your script into /etc/init.d folder
2 – cd /etc/init.d
3 – chmod +x myscript
4 – Add these lines, including #, right after #!/bin/bash or #!/bin/sh:

# chkconfig: 2345 95 20
# description: Some description
# What your script does (not sure if this is necessary though)
# processname: myscript

5 – chkconfig –level 2345 myscript on

    Hey. This worked. Thanks a bunch! Without your help I would not have figured out why I was getting the message that my script was not chkconfig compliant.
