I'm setting up an Intranet server based in Suse 8.0. I've not installed X windows. I want to change the boot options eg run Apache. I'm trying to add entries in /etc/init.d/rc3.d using
ln -s /etc/init.d/rc3.d/S30apache -> ../apache
You've got it the wrong way round - linux commands usually work on the basis of command source (which must exist) destination (which doesn't necessarily exist) So, for your symbolic link, you need the following to be true: 1. Be sitting in /etc/init.d/rc3.d 2. Issue the following command ln -s ../apache ./S30apache Furthermore, remember that the order in which activities happen is entirely governed by the alphanumeric order of the 'files' in rc3.d. So S30xxxx will definitely happen after S12xxxx and before S31xxxx. You should also provide another link to shut the apache server down correctly, so ln -s ../apache ./S05apache is likely to be useful. (Don't take my number for gospel - investigate and ensure that apache shuts down before processes on which it depends.)
