 ** Configure rteval-parsed
 
+When starting the rteval-parserd via the init.d script (or via the 'service'
+command on RHEL/Fedora distributions) it will use the values configured in
+/etc/sysconfig/rteval-parserd.
+
+The available parameters are:
+
+    - NUM_THREADS
+      When this is not defined, the default behaviour is to use the number
+      of available CPU cores.  The init.d script will detect this
+      automatically.
+
+    - LOG
+      This defines how logging will be done.  See the rteval-parserd
+      arguments description further down in the document for more
+      information.
+
+    - LOGLEVEL
+      Defines how verbose the logging will be.  See the rteval-parserd
+      arguments description further down in the document for more
+      information.
+
+    - CONFIGFILE
+      The default configuration file rteval-parserd will try to read is
+      /etc/rteval.conf.  See the next paragraph for more information about
+      this file.  This argument let you override the default config file.
+
+    - PIDFILE
+      Defines where the init.d script will put the PID file for the
+      rteval-parserd process.  The default is /var/run/rteval-parserd.pid
+
 This daemon uses the same configuration file as the rest of the rteval program
 suite, /etc/rteval.conf.  It will parse the section named 'xmlrpc_parser'.
