Extension:SphinxSearch/init.d
Here is a chkconfig compatible script for FC users. It is a modification on a script by Vladimir Fedorkov. This script assumes you've put the pid file (config in sphinx.conf) in /var/run for selinux purposes. Speaking of selinux, you'll need to add port 3312 to the http port context.
#!/bin/bash

# Init file for searchd

#
# USE "chkconfig --add searchd" to configure Sphinx searchd service
