I always use a utility called chkconfig. It allows you to specify a service, a runlevel, and setups up all of the rc links. Nice. Forexmaple:
chkconfig --level 345 smb on would setup samba to start on runlevel 3, 4, or 5. I know that this is easy to do, but it cuts down on typing and mistakes... -----Original Message----- From: Cory Petkovsek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2003 11:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Eug-lug]X on startup On Mon, Mar 17, 2003 at 09:14:15PM -0800, Rob Hudson wrote: > Mine shows: > id:2:initdefault: > > But that triggered my memory.

The symlinks in the runlevel directories are broken, but it is easier to rename the file back rather than reinstate the symlinks. You could also remove xdm, but you have to force the dependencies. When i upgrade <service> it sometimes complains that the original /etc/init.d/service file is missing and always replaces it with the upgraded version. > > Whip open /etc/inittab, and find a line similar to this: > > id:3:initdefault: > > > > Yours will probably have 5 instead of three (it depends on the distro), but text > > boot on most systems is three, so make the line like this: > > id:5:initdefault: As for this stuff, runlevel 3 is console and runlevel 5 is xdm on redhat based systems. Runlevel 2 is default on debian, and 3-5 are available for the user or other derivative distros to customize. Bob, where does it say that 3/5 is a standard?
