I need to have the hostmon deamon autostart after a re-boot.
how do I set this up in RHEL 5.7.
my korn shell script is below:

#!/usr/bin/ksh
/usr/Hostmon/rma -d /usr/Hostmon/rma.ini

This shell functions from commandline...

You may add
/usr/Hostmon/rma -d /usr/Hostmon/rma.ini
line into /etc/rc.d/rc.local file for RMA autostart.

Update:
I've implemented your recommendation. Can I force the rc.local file to be re-read so I don't have to wait for a re-boot to test the new entry?

I think it's better to reboot system, to be sure script is properly executed during system startup.
