[mapguide-users] Services on Linux

[Jason Birch]

It depends on the flavour, but I think for most of them there is a
more structured approach of creating a control script and then
hyperlinking it from the appropriate linux run mode directory (or
something like that). The OS then runs the script with start/stop
parameters as appropriate. I built a script like this back when I was
experimenting with Ubuntu (look near the bottom):
