How do I setup MongoDB so that it will start back up automatically after a server reboot? This is on CentOS 5.5.
I start it with the following command, but if the server reboots, I have to login to SSH and run that again to get it going (not that big of a deal really, but would be nice to know that this isn't necessary if I don't have access to the server).
./mongod –config ./mongodb.config
–fork –logpath /var/log/mongodb.log –logappend

Your best bet is to install the rpms provided by 10gen (makers of mongodb)
http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/CentOS+and+Fedora+Packages
That will install a init.d script for you that you can run
//mongod service
