> try running /sbin/chkconfig --list which gives you what servers, daemons and startup programs are running. but many applications aren't daemons. other things to try: 1. see what RPMs are installed. rpm -qa unfortunately that's very verbose. use grep judiciously, or sort, or pass it to a file to organize it a bit, e.g.: rpm -qa | sort | grep -v ^lib > rpmlist.txt that's still a lot of packages, but it'll help a bit. you could also just noodle around in /bin, /usr/bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/sbin to see what's around. that's usually not very useful though since there are an incredibly number of things installed usually and it's difficult to separate the chaff from the wheat. some software will have been installed from source. most of those will be in /opt or /usr/local/[s]bin. you could look in /etc/crontab to see if anything is started regularly. those might be a clue to programs installed manually. you could also look in /etc/rc.d/rc.local to see what programs are started outside the normal /etc/rc.d/init.d system. tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo gquimpo*hotmail.com tiger*sni*ph http://bopolissimus.sni.ph Public Key: "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 672F4C78" Hell hath no fury like a non-combatant.
