Hi
For a question i got yesterday:
How to add services to start automatically at boot-time and or remove them by
hand??
I was suggesting not to do it by HAND, but use the otherwise
available
chkconfig
This is part of linux base. and the fun part is, this script knows the
thing about adding/starting services in a paraticular order, and does
not make a mess of the whole process.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# chkconfig
chkconfig version 1.3.6 - Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Red Hat, Inc.

usage: chkconfig --list [name]
chkconfig --add <name>
chkconfig --del <name>
chkconfig [--level <levels>] <name> <on|off|reset>)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# chkconfig --list
alsa 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
dm 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:on 6:off
kheader 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off
keytable 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
the script also knows about the necessery settings regarding the different
run-levels.
use it to add/delete/list services set on your system.
Also note, that many distros do have well-functioning gui-front-ends for this
script to manage services, if you have yoour gui set properly, you can use
those too :-)
Cheers
Szemir
