This will auto-start backuppc at run levels 3, 4 and 5.
+Debian Linux:
+============
+
+When configure.pl is run, the script debian-backuppc is created.
+
+Copy the debian startup script:
+
+ cp debian-backuppc /etc/init.d/backuppc
+
+Run the following command to install in rc.d:
+
+ update-rc.d backuppc defaults
+
+Set the correct init.d rights:
+
+ chmod 755 /etc/init.d/backuppc
+
+Usage: /etc/init.d/backuppc {start|stop|restart|reload}
+
+Suse Linux:
+==========
+
+When configure.pl is run, the script suse-backuppc is created.
+
+Using Suse 9.0 "chkconfig --level" doesn't work, so you should run:
+
+ chkconfig backuppc 345
+ chkconfig --list backuppc
+
+Gentoo Linux:
+============
+
+When configure.pl is run, the script gentoo-backuppc and the init conf files
+gentoo-backuppc.conf are created. They should be copied to the following
+locations:
+
+ cp gentoo-backuppc /etc/init.d/backuppc
+ cp gentoo-backuppc.conf /etc/conf.d/backuppc
+
+You can test it by running these commands as root:
+
+ /etc/init.d/backuppc start
+ /etc/init.d/backuppc status
+ /etc/init.d/backuppc stop
+
+After copying these files, run the following as root to make BackupPC to
+start automatically at boot (at the default run level):
+
+ rc-update add backuppc default
+
+FreeBSD:
+=======
+
+When configure.pl is run, the script freebsd-backuppc is created.
+An alternative more compact script is freebsd-backuppc2, submitted
+by Dan Niles.
+
+Copy one of these scripts to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/backuppc and make
+execuatble.
+
+Add the following line to /etc/rc.conf to enable BackupPC:
+
+backuppc_enable=(bool): Set to "NO" by default.
+ Set it to "YES" to enable BackupPC.
+
+Example:
+
+ backuppc_enable="YES"
+
+The script accepts: start, stop, restart, reload, status
+
+Slackware:
+=========
+
+When configure.pl is run, the script slackware-backuppc is created.
+
+Install it by running these commands as root:
+
+ cp slackware-backuppc /etc/rc.d/rc.backuppc
+ chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.backuppc
+
+then use an editor to add /etc/rc.d/rc.backuppc to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
+
Solaris:
=======
This will auto-start backuppc at run level 3 and stop it at run level 0.
