Hi, Now I do not recall how many times on this list there was a question well redhat has chkconfig what is the command in SuSE, and many of us jumped (there is a section in the FAQ also that says thereis no chkconfig in SuSE. ) Well it looks like it is there in SuSE 8.0 and it is installed by default suprise :-) toganm@earth:~> rpm -qf /sbin/chkconfig aaa_base-2002.3.27-0 CHKCONFIG(8) CHKCONFIG(8) NAME chkconfig - enable or disable system services SYNOPSIS chkconfig -t|--terse [names] chkconfig -s|--set [name state] chkconfig -e|--edit [names] chkconfig -l|--list [--deps] [names] chkconfig -a|--add [names] chkconfig -d|--del [names] DESCRIPTION chkconfig is used to manipulate the runlevel links at boot time (see init.d(7)). It can be thought of as a frontend to insserv(8). Chkconfig can run in six different modes: terse list mode, set mode, edit mode, list mode, add mode and delete mode. The last three modes were added for compatibilityreasons -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
