I have put my scripts in init.d - and have not added them to chkconfig. that's ok as I don't want them changed that way by anyone. The redhat doc is a little jumbled when it gets to the exact lines about Using the K* to stop process and S* to start processes if I am booting up to init 3 when init gets to this point, checks the inittab does it run the K* scripts before S* scripts??? *I thought* it only ran the S* Also A. if I go from init 3 to init 5 then *I thought*: init looks in rc3.d and runs all the K* scripts then looks in rc5.d and runs all the S* scripts B. but the RH doc is saying if I go from 3 to 5 init looks in rc5.d and runs all the K* scripts then looks in rc5.d and runs all the S* scripts I am confused about this as I have googled on runlevels and seen It stated as in A. Does anyone know exactly how RH 2.1 works in this instance.

Read it's man page and revel in it's simplicity. hth, Jurvis LaSalle -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
