Next, and perhaps a bit off topic, jim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> posted to
valhalla-list that he likes to start and stop services by modfiying the
appropriate S/K prefix on the link in the rc directory, a practice that I have
done for several years, since this allows me to do something like:
# mv /etc/rc3.d/S90canna /etc/rc3.d/K90canna.i.did.this
in case I ever wanted to reset my services to the default level. Aaron
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> responded "iNo,No,No. You stop things from running by
running chkconfig". Directed to Aaron and others with an opinion, why use
chkconfig (or any tool for that matter), when the other method works just as
well? Unless I am missing something about how RH tracks its services
modifying the link is not going to break anything and in my opinion, it makes
tracking changes _much_ easier.
How is 'ls /etc/rc?.d/' easier than 'chkconfig --list'?
How is 'mv /etc/rc3.d/S90canna /etc/rc3.d/K90canna.i.did.this' easier than 'chkconfig --level 3 canna off'?
Red Hat provide a tool for managing startup and shutdown scripts. That is far easier than manually manipulating files, IMO.
