Uhm, it doesn't prove anything. It is just one reason why I'm not convinced that "chkconfig --list | grep foo" is any better than "chkconfig --list foo". Because if I let "grep" search for a wrong pattern, it doesn't find anything either. It all boils down to whether you have every service name in your head. If you think the web service is called "apache", the following two commands would both fail: $ /sbin/chkconfig --list | grep apach $ /sbin/chkconfig --list apache error reading information on service apache: No such file or directory Forgetting the 'd' at the end of "chkconfig --list http" may happen, but using shell history it can be added easily.
