1.4.2. Runlevel Utilities One of the best ways to configure runlevels is to use an initscript utility. These tools are designed to simplify the task of maintaining files in the SysV init directory hierarchy and relieves system administrators from having to directly manipulate the numerous symbolic links in the subdirectories of /etc/rc.d/. Red Hat Linux provides three such utilities: /sbin/chkconfig — The /sbin/chkconfig utility is a simple command-line tool for maintaining the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory hierarchy. > suse has its own tools Which completely deny the TIMTOWTDI principle. I ditched SuSE simply because, at the time, it was so dictatorial. I want to be able to set up my computer the way I want, and not have some stranger at the other end of the world undo my work on the next boot. > Personally I quite like the rc-update approach myself.... So do I. They fully understand TIMTOWTDI. -- CS
