How to start rsync daemon at boot

[Daniel Carrera]

Hi Jame,

Write a script with whatever commands are needed to start the rsync 
daemon (probably a 1-line script). Save the script in:

/etc/init.d/rsync

Then make a symlink from /etc/rc*.d to rsync:

sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/rsync /etc/rc2.d/S99rsync
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/rsync /etc/rc3.d/S99rsync
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/rsync /etc/rc4.d/S99rsync
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/rsync /etc/rc5.d/S99rsync

Cheers,
Daniel.
