I'll just add a bit to the excellent answer by Leendert:
And next one is: I just want to add something(for example xmms)
That example will not work: services are started by "root" before you log in. That xmms needs you are logged in, and started by that user.
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
If you create the link manually, it will not work, either. Not for long, in any case.
Please read:
man init.d
Also, the "The SuSE boot concept" chapter in the SuSE admin book - paper or electronic.

Carlos: I haven't done any work on setting up new procedures in the rc system in a while, not since the dependency checking aspect was put in. I just took a look at .depend.start, which I take it is a file you have to edit in order to set up any dependencies between a new process and ones already existing. It looks pretty straightforward except for the "TARGETS =" statement in the beginning. Would you have to modify this as well as adding any dependencies down further in the script? I didn't see any explanation of what this statement was about in the README. Greg Wallace
