+The init scripts are not prefixed with "rc." (e.g. rc.pcp) due to the fact
+that several documentation files and other supporting files used by pcp
+expect them without that prefix, and the process of fixing those files is
+a bit too maintenance-intensive and error-prone to bother.
+
+/etc/rc.d/pcp:
+ starts all the agents and daemons for collecting the info from
+ various host monitoring
+
+/etc/rc.d/pmie:
+ starts all daemons for evaluating the rules based on the exported
+ PCP metrics (usually for triggering particular events)
+
+/etc/rc.d/pmproxy:
+ starts proxy daemon for PCP
+
+You will need to add the following bits to /etc/rc.d/rc.local and make sure
+the relevant init scripts have executable permissions:
+
+ # Start pcp:
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/pcp ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/pcp start
+ fi
+
+ # Start pmie
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/pmie ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/pmie start
+ fi
+
+ # Start pmproxy
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/pmproxy ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/pmproxy start
+ fi
+
+You will also need to add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown:
+
+ # Stop pcp:
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/pcp ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/pcp stop
+ fi
+
+ # Stop pmie
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/pmie ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/pmie stop
+ fi
+
+ # Stop pmproxy
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/pmproxy ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/pmproxy stop
+ fi
