Hi Heather,

First, I would install the comedi_config and comedi_calibrate  
routines into /usr/local/bin (I think make install does this,  
possibly into /usr/local/sbin instead...).  After that, the only  
thing you need to do on startup is:

modprobe ni_pcimio
/usr/local/bin/comedi_config /dev/comedi0 ni_pcimio
/usr/local/bin/comedi_calibrate

(one or more of those may need to be sbin, based on where you or  
"make install" puts them)

And you can easily tuck that into a startup script (sorry, I don't  
use Redhat so I can't be specific here, but I think it's as simple as  
creating a new script in /etc/rc#.d where # is the runlevel you  
bootup in (probably 2 or 5).

You don't really need anything to "stop".  Most 2.6.x kernels today  
turn off module unloading, so there's really nothing to "stop" when  
you want to turn off comedi.

Hope that helps.
