Yes.  That is standard Linux system administration stuff.  You can of
course do it some other way,  but I'd highly recommend using the
*standard* service script method.  Then if someone else needs to work on
the system they don't have to try any figure out what you setup -
"service xyz start", "service xyz stop", etc... are the expected
behavior of a service.  <aside>current versions of Samba can even be
setup so you can exercise service scripts via MMC</aside>  Doing
something else to start/stop services places your systems "outside the
box" (maybe an entirely mid-western USA term).

There is little to no advantage to this,  and you may very well not want
all the services, so why run them?  ogo-xmlrpcd is only required if you
want to use the legacy XML-RPC API, and the ogo-nhsd service is [at
least IMO] entirely worthless at this point.  ogo-zidestore and
ogo-webui are the two interesting services.

I welcome feedback regarding WMOGAG,  please let me know if you find a
useful topic that is not covered, or not covered adequately.
