Hi folks! I have got some questionS concerning the services which starts at runlevels. First one is: In the /etc/init.d/rc<x>.d directory symbolic links to the appropriate executable files, And there are two links for each program(one for killing it - the name starting with "K", and one for starting - name starting with "S"). So first question is: How the two links pointing to the same file works in a different way, in one case the same file kills the process, in the next it starts...As I know there isn't any parameters for the links? Do I understand it correctly? And next one is: I just want to add something(for example xmms) to start automaticaly in runlevel 5, so in my /etc/init.d/rc5.d directory I created symbolic link to /usr/bin/xmms executable file with a name like S22xmms, I was thinking how to create another link with K22xmms, but didn't find the answer. Anyway it didn't worked after restarting...I tried to add it using chkconfig...like linux:~/Install # chkconfig -a /usr/bin/xmms /usr/bin/xmms: unknown service /usr/bin/xmms: not a runlevel service and in yast's part of System Services (Runlevel) I didn't find anyway to "add" something Is it some default set of programs to start at booting and there can't be added anything? And I was wondering why the numbers of links is not in the increasing order...In my case the /etc/init.d/rc5.d content is: . K05nscd K10microcode and so on...with .. K05postfix K10splash appropriate "S" ones K01cupsrenice K05xdm K10sshd K02powersaved K06cups K12nfs K03haldaemon K07mdnsd K12nfsboot K04cron K10acpid K14portmap K04smbfs K10alsasound K14splash_early I can assume that the same numbers is for the processes to start simultaneously(please correct me if I am not right), but why for example From K07mdnsd comes K10acpid and not K08 acpid? Any help greatly appreciated :) and sorry for a long post Best regards, Sergey -- Sergey Mkrtchyan Scientific Researcher Department of Molecular Physics, Faculty of Physics, Yerevan State University Tel: (374-10) 55-43-41 Fax: (374-10) 57-76-89
