Ok, my fault, i didn't explained it correctly. The old chkconfig, when run with "chkconfig --del service" indeed removed all symlinks, but the service continued to be manageable through chkconfig. You could run "chkconfig --list" and still see the service in the list. With the new chkconfig, --del removes all symlinks (like the old one) but, what changed is the service is removed from the services list provided by chkconfig! If you want something which is more like the old behaviour, you have to run "chkconfig service off", which only removes the S**service symlinks, but leaves the K**service symlinks in place. The service is disabled, but it also remains in the list provided by chkconfig. So, with the new version, it's better to manage services with "chkconfig service on|off", like on SGI Irix. I do believe the new behaviour is more logical but, heh, if you're lazy like i am and don't read documentation... ;-) -- Florin Andrei There's nothing to be ashamed of in coming up with the obvious, especially when nobody else is coming up with it. _______________________________________________ Redhat-devel-list mailing list Redhat-devel-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list
