[SR-Users] best way to start kamailio at boot

I am not familiar with Centos but I suspect there is another script being
run from somewhere. What I would do is move the /etc/init.d/kamailio script
somewhere safe (your home directory for eg). Then reboot and see if
kamailio still starts - if it does you need to find out whihc script is
being called and where it is.

If you are not running X by default you are prob in runlevel 3. If you are
running X, then it will be 5. check where you runlevel scripts are
pointing. e.g.

ls -al /etc/rc3.d/SXXkamailio (X = [0-9])

Cheers
Jason
