Enrique,

Attached below are a number of startup scripts for venue & bridge  
servers and registry peer. They are based on the scripts that I have  
used here for some time on the APAG venue server; its not actually  
running Fedora, but I've reworked the scripts to be generic enough  
(hopefully) that they can just drop in and work (when suitably  
configured) in all the common distributions.

There are two files applicable to each service. All the .conf files  
go into /etc/default/ and all these files need some information  
entered into them before the real scripts will run (quite minimal  
though). The remaining files (the plain agvs, agbs & agregistry) go  
into /etc/init.d/ from where you can test them e.g. sudo /etc/init.d/ 
agvs start (& stop). Each service needs a user account under which to  
run and a directory in which to run - these are set in the  
appropriate .conf file. The user account to be used should have a  
service certificate installed. I'd suggest running each service  
manually a few times for testing purposes before enabling them fully  
with chkconfig.

Careful viewers will see that I've not used the the convenience  
functions especially provided by some distributions for starting &  
stopping services. This strategy enables the same scripts to be used  
across different distributions. More importantly, it avoids the  
"wrong" behaviour by some built in daemon functions when running the  
venue server.
