Centos wont create init.d startup files

Question

recently i installed vnstat on my fresh linux machine.

so after installing it with yum install vnstat , before it i installed epel!

so now i cant start it: service vnstat start error: unrecognized service

i have tired searching a little then i found out that it does not create init.d file to run it.

i dont prefer to create them manually i want it fixed please help.

how to fix this?
