That’s great to know and I appreciate your answer. I DO NOT want the db startup and shutdown to be managed in ckhconfig. What I want to know at what runlevels the start and kill scripts are executed I have read thru the rc script in /etc/rc.d and the RH doc for 7.2. If I am at runlevel 3 and going to runlevel 5 It looks at the K scripts in runlevel 5 executes them and then looks at the S Scripts in runlevel 5 and executes them - It doesn’t execute anything in runlevel 3. I believe this is different from Sys V behavior correct me if I am wrong. I am just trying to verify so I can put my S and K scripts in the correct dirs. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jurvis LaSalle Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2004 4:35 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: Changing run levels -init.d On Mar 25, 2004, at 6:45 PM, Percent, Lonnie M. wrote: > > 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. € I don't think you have fully grokked the man page for chkconfig, specifically the -add option and the two little lines that you add at the top of your startup script. from the man page<snip> Each service which should be manageable by chkconfig needs two or more commented lines added to its init.d script. The first line tells chk-config what runlevels the service should be started in by default, as well as the start and stop priority levels. If the service should not, by default, be started in any runlevels, a - should be used in place of the runlevels list. The second line contains a description for the service, and may be extended across multiple lines with backslash con-tinuation. For example, random.init has these three lines: # chkconfig: 2345 20 80 # description: Saves and restores system entropy pool for \ # higher quality random number generation. This says that the random script should be started in levels 2, 3, 4, and 5, that its start priority should be 20, and that its stop priority should be 80. You should be able to figure out what the Description says; the \ causes the line to be continued. The extra space in front of the line is ignored. ###################################### 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
