As you wish :) This way you'll duplicate the work of the package's preuninstall script, and you won't get a clean shutdown of any service which happens to have been started ad-hoc, rather than at bootup. See /etc/rc.d/rc section "# First, run the KILL scripts". chkconfig --del renders that ineffective. >I have already tried the off option and again these services are not >turned off during post installation even on levels 3,4,5, but they are >if the script is run after a reboot. Hmm - you could dump the output from "find /etc/rc*" before and after running chkconfig, then diff them. Cheers, Phil
