This assumes you are starting Fusion as a non-root user, and you already know how to run the the start, stop, restart and status commands are really simple *.sh files in the /opt/fusion/bin directory. Here are the steps that worked for me
Create init script
sudo nano /etc/init.d/fusion
Add commands to script
#!/bin/bash
# description: Fusion Startup
# processname: fusion
# chkconfig: 234 20 80
# by max.derungs@providence.org
FUSION_CMD=/opt/fusion/bin/fusion
# Source the function library for daemon.
. /etc/init.d/functions
# daemons
case "$1" in
start)
daemon --check fusion $FUSION_CMD start
;;
stop)
daemon --check fusion $FUSION_CMD stop
;;
status)
daemon --check fusion $FUSION_CMD status
;;
restart) daemon --check fusion $FUSION_CMD restart
;;
*)
echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}"
esac
exit 0
Set permissions of and make executable
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/fusion
Setup chkconfig utility to start service at boot time
sudo /sbin/chkconfig --add fusion sudo /sbin/chkconfig --level 234 fusion on sudo /sbin/chkconfig --list fusion
Test
sudo service fusion start
