The SuSE manual explains the runlevel concepts pretty well. It even gives you instructions on how to add your own scripts. In short, if you create a script, say "your_script", and create the symbolic links as described below, /sbin/init.d/your_script /sbin/init.d/rc2.d/K15your_script -> ../your_script /sbin/init.d/rc2.d/S20your_script -> ../your_script /sbin/init.d/rc3.d/K15your_script -> ../your_script /sbin/init.d/rc3.d/S20your_script -> ../your_script you will see it started when you enter run levels 2 or 3. I don't think Yast clobbers manually added init scripts during a system update or any other time. What you should have is a backup and a shell script that will reinstall the script when needed. -- Rafael Herrera -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
