exit $PID

Steps:

• Save these shell script lines as a file. For mine i saved as file “red5″
• Copy this file to /etc/init.d/
• Then execute the below commands to start red5 when your system starts

I checked with ubuntu 10.04. For chkconfig work on ubuntu you need to install chkconfig

This above script Not working in Ubuntu
