Brilliant. S's to start and K's stop. Lowercase s's are ignored, but serve as a cache of disabled S's. Give that man a prize. > You can also 'chkconfig scriptname off' if your system uses chkconfig. > You can tell if it uses chkconfig by running 'chkconfig scriptname > --list' A foreigner on Debian (and its derivatives like Ubuntu), but sysv-rc-conf is closest, and sysv-rc-conf caches values in /var/lib/sysv-rc-conf/services. One side effect of that is --list doesn't work until root runs it. I think changing s-to-S or S-to-s would be nicer. I didn't see anything sanctioning the lowercase s in the Debian manuals, so that may be the reason. -- Anthony Carrico
