cherokee init script FEDORA COMPLIANT

FC (and any RH-based distro) doesn't have the update-rc.d script; instead, they have chkconfig. So, I created the link on /etc/rc.d and tried to enable cherokee on chkconfig, but it failed,

I build the last 0.5.5 tarball source, and all goes very good, so I went to copy de contrib/cherokee init script to my /etc/init.d/ directory and for make a link to the especial init scripts on /etc/rc[x].d, I use the redhat chkconfig util,

[rootlocalhost init.d]# chkconfig --add cherokee
service cherokee does not support chkconfig

but I realize that the special line for chkconfig wasn't there, and all the things I need for cherokee to start on my Fedora 5 x86_64 based system, (ANGEL OF GOODNESS come to me and inspire me), so I made some investigation of your DAEMON and the arguments, to finally wrote a contrib REDHAT FEDORA compliant cherokee init script for all the folks who have problems with the init so this is the new contrib/cherokee.server.fedora compliant:

        if [ -n "`/sbin/pidof $NAME`" ]; then
          ;      echo -n $"$NAME: already running"
     ;           echo ""
       ;         exit $RETVAL
      ;  fi
     ;   echo -n "Starting Cherokee service: "
        $BASE -C $CONF $DAEMON pidfile $PIDFILE
  ;      sleep 1
       ; action "" /sbin/pidof $NAME
        RETVAL=$?
  ;      [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/cherokee
   ;     ;;
  stop)
        echo -n "Shutting down Cherokee service: "
      ;  killproc $BASE
        RETVAL=$?
  ;      echo
 ;       [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/cherokee
   ;     ;;
  restart|reload)
 ;       $0 stop
 ;       $0 start
        RETVAL=$?
        ;;
  status)
      ;  status $BASE
        RETVAL=$?
  ;      ;;
  *)
     ;   echo "Usage: $NAME {start|stop|restart|reload|status}"
      ;  exit 1
esac

exit $RETVAL

Now everything is fine:

[rootlocalhost init.d]# chkconfig --add cherokee

[rootlocalhost init.d]# chkconfig cherokee on
[rootlocalhost init.d]# service cherokee start
Starting cherokee ...

I could provide a patch, but I don't know how to send the initial script is generated. So, long story short, this issue requires many changes

Thats all Budy !!!
The Cherokee Server just fine on my Fedora 5 x86_64 based system
I hope you can made the changes to that script, or at least, made one called contrib/cherokee.server.fedora with this contrib.
