Actually, in RH to start it now,, you use
service it start

To control whether it starts at boot, you use chkconfig

SuSE also uses chkconfig, but I don't see anything equivalent to service.


For Debian there _is_ a package providing the service command, but I 
don't recall its name.


Debian has update-rc.d which is very different from chkconfig but does 
the same kind of thing.

On all, you can do something like
/etc/init.d/it start
to start it now.
