A template for chkconfig script

This script can be used as a Template for developing a customized service script, which can be controlled using 'chkconfig' and 'service' command. In this script, I have converted an application ('admin') startup/stop/restart/check status procedure into a chkconfig script. This 'admin' application is a JBoss application which uses JDK version 1.6.0_14.
