I'm sure that if you change the start/stop levels in the "chkconfig:" line in any of the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ scripts and do "chkconfig --add <servicename>", then the symlinks in the /etc/rc.d/rc?.d/ directories will be modified appropriately for that service. (Perhaps you might need to first do "chkconfig --del" to remove the old symlinks? - yes, probably (sorry, it's been a while since I've mucked around with chkconfig like this). Ahh, the man page mentions a "reset" parameter to --level, I've never used it but it seems that this might be used to cleanly do what was originally wanted in one hit. /sbin/chkconfig is a very useful too, it can really save a lot of hassles doing runlevel configuration with init scripts, like getting the symlinks names set up exactly as they should be. It's also a very useful tool for quickly examining runlevel configurations... chkconfig --list | grep 3:on # services started at runlevel 3 chkconfig --list | grep 3:off # services NOT started at runlevel 3 chkconfig --list | grep -v 3:o # view xinetd services status (I have similar commands as shell aliases/functions in my /root/.bashrc file). This shell one-liner will modify the init levels so that everything started at runlevel 3 will also be started at runlevel 5... # for s in $(chkconfig --list | grep 3:on | cut -d\ -f1) ; do chkconfig --level 5 $s on ; done Oh, on second thought, this might be needed first to ensure that anything not set to start at runlevel 3 is also not started at runlevel 5... # for s in $(chkconfig --list | grep 3:off | cut -d\ -f1) ; do chkconfig --level 5 $s off ; done (let your imagination go wild... :-) Cheers Tony -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
