Test the scripts

[root@srv01 init.d]# /etc/init.d/memcached restart
Shutting down memcached:                                   [  OK  ]
Starting memcached:                                        [  OK  ]

Review if the conf file is well parsed

[root@srv01 init.d]# ps aux  | grep memcached
nobody    5966  0.5  0.3 18248 16444 pts/0   S    13:55   0:00 /usr/local/bin/memcached -u root -m 16 -p 11211 -u nobody -l 127.0.0.1

Add memcached as autostart daemon

[root@srv01 init.d]# /sbin/chkconfig memcached on
[root@srv01 init.d]# /sbin/chkconfig --list | grep memcached
memcached       0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
