Not quite, purists would put the shutdown links in as well, because it's a good idea to shutdown the daemon processes in an orderly way rather than just killing them off with a TERM or KILL signal. btw, noting that I'm not very familiar with how SuSE organises its runlevels, but shouldn't those links be in the directory for rc3? Traditionally, rc3 is the 'networking' level and rc5 the 'X11-server' level. One day you could well find yourself not running X-11, have networking running, but be at a total loss as to why other machines cannot find those pesky 'shares'. > Christopher Sawtell wrote: > > On Thursday 06 April 2006 11:51, Roger Searle wrote: > >> where is the best place, or what is the best method, to ensure that > >> the machine is set to start both these services each time it boots? > > > > http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/ref-guide/s1-boo > >t-init-shutdown-process.html Also see the links therefrom and the pages > > following. -- CS
