For the Doc update I have submitted the changes in the -dev forum. The "service" command is the attempt by the Linux community to add a layer of abstraction to the 60's era /etc/init.d mechanism for starting/stopping/restarting system services/daemons. The "service" relies on "chkconfig" to register system services, then service manages those that are registered with a consistent syntax.
As a clear example, the install docs tell us to run "/etc/init.d/mysqld restart". Well, with MySQL 5.0 there is no such init script! There is, however, a service called "mysql" that is consistent throughout all MySQL installations. On the last point (password), I agree with your assessment regarding security. At a minimum the issue of the password needs to be documented and directions provided for performing the install *IF* the password is changed (as it should be) ------------------------ Steve Jones -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=8663#8663 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
