How to start Solr automatically?

Question

At the moment I have to go to /usr/java/apache-solr-1.4.0/example and then do:

java -jar start.jar

How do I get this to start

Answer 1

Adding the following lines to my /etc/init.d/solr file works to support Red Hat Linux (I copied them from /etc/init.d/mysql after reading comments by others here).

# Comments to support chkconfig on Red Hat Linux
# chkconfig: 2345 64 36
