I am following the Linux Administration: a Beginner's Guide book and it had me write out two scripts, and after I set their permissions to 755 and moved them to where they needed to be I tried chkconfig -add carpald and I'm getting error reading information on service carpald: No such file or directory.

What am I doing wrong?

It should be /etc/init.d/carpald in this case – warl0ck Oct 1 '12 at 2:51
