[Bug 470654] New: can not enable/disable a system service in a single runlevel
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470654 Summary: can not enable/disable a system service in a single runlevel Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: wangyc0307@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-1.1 Firefox/3.0.5 when I tried to enable a system service just in a single runlevel , for example, the vsftpd only in runlevel 5, I used the runlevel dialog of Yast, I switched to the expert mode, selected the vsftpd entry, and ticked ONLY the runlevel 5's check box. But it turned out that vsftpd in runlevel 3 AND 5 were BOTH enabled. Actually, this is the case for all the services - when the check box of one runlevel is checked, the service will be enabled in ALL the runlevels which is supposed to be "Default-Start" . So I would like to make sure if this is designed to work like this or this is really a bug. And if it is designed to be so, I still hope I can enable/disable a system service in a single runlevel. I think this will happen in all openSUSE11.1 machines and is easy to reproduce, so I don't offer the yast's log, but if you really need that, please tell me. Thank you.

Maybe this is the way it had been designed. But for me, as a end user, I don't really care how /sbin/insserv works and what the default runlevel is. What I want is to enable a specified runlevel, as ticking the corresponding check box, and I don't hope the default runlevel is enabled too. So can this be satisfied simply with YaST?

The default runlevels are a hard requirement otherwise the system may not boot correct. If you really want to ignore the system default you may use an overwrite file: mkdir -p /etc/insserv/overrides sed -rn '/^### BEGIN INIT INFO/,/^### END INIT INFO/{ s/(.*Default-Start:[[:blank:]]*).*/\15/ p }' < /etc/init.d/smt > /etc/insserv/overrides/smt this is curently the only way to not only add an additional runelvel but remove the default values intended by the author of the script. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

However I still think the design is kind of strange: It's not that you can't disable the service in default runlevels -- you can disable it in all default runlevels, *but* you can't disable it respectively, for example, you can't disable it in runlevel 3 while enabling it in runlevel 5, Do the two runlevels interact? Actually, I used to use Fedora, and its system-config-service utility can do what I expect. So I thought openSUSE was supposed to do that too. Anyway, I won't ask for that again, and thanks very much for your help -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
