OT: Slackware: Starting Servers at Boot

2012-02-02 Thread Chris Maness
I have been using FreeBSD for so long I forgot how to configure
services and startup.  I now also have a Slack box.  What file do I
edit to so that services like named start automagically?  I am aware
lines can be uncommented in inetd.conf, but I want the service running
without spawning from inetd.

Thanks,
Chris Maness

After more searching it turns out that all that one needs to do is
make the rc.bind executable in the rc.d directory.  Wow, that is as
straight forward as it comes.

might be dated info but GNU/Linux usually has sep directory for each run
level, so you can have one without X for example. pretty sure ntsysv is a
front end to rc directories with toggle on-off executable bit
