Sorry, I've been struggling to find any information on this, mainly because it is difficult to find proper search terms.
Say I've installed some software, like PostgreSQL, that adds a beautiful script to /etc/init.d/ that starts or stops the server. Now I want to start the server in, say runlevel 3, so I know I need to add links to /etc/init.d/rc3.d/ but I'm having trouble finding information on the proper way of doing this. Can anyone point me to some documentation, or give a quick explanation of the numbers, letters etc. used in these symlinks?
Unlike the old school unices where you tediously create symlinks by hand, linux distros provide gui and cli tools to automate the process. In yast, suse provides a runlevel editor under "system", or you can simply issue a chkconfig or insserv command to set the runlevels for a particular program.
See the man pages on those commands for more info.

Thanks, I forgot to mention that the main idea was that I couldn't use YaST in this particular context. --Jason -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
