[NBLUG/talk] Is this the correct approach

[Mark Street]

You need a brush up on System V initialization scripts, rc (run control) 
scripts are found int /etc/rc.d/init.d on RH boxen.

There is one for apache named httpd, that is installed with the rpm.  My guess 
is you could hack that script to point it to your apache binary and all would 
be well.

or....

You could make an entry in /etc/rc.d/rc.local to start your apache binary 
without the rc functionality enabled.

First get some foundation with RH system initialization, run levels and run 
control scripts found in /etc/rc.d/
