Hi everyone. I am pursing a task of establishing a procedure among my colleagues - system administrator which will help us enable/disable services on Debian servers.
I am considering "update-rc.d" script that is mentioned in Debian documentation and was also mentioned on this list on a few occasions. I have 2 questions which are not covered by either manual for update-rc.d or the official Debian documentation: 1. How do I preserve a knowledge of priority level (K or S) for a daemon? For example: When daemon is installed, some default priority values are setup. e.g. for "amd" both K and S value are equal to 35. Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/am-utils ... /etc/rc0.d/K35am-utils /etc/rc3.d/S35am-utils or for "nfs-kernel-server" K=80 and S=20. /etc/rc5.d/S20nfs-kernel-server /etc/rc6.d/K80nfs-kernel-server Let assume that I disable nfs-kernel-server by setting up K=80 for all run levels. How I am suppose to know that value of S should be equal to 20, 3 months later when I decide that I need this service. I have seen in the past a formula K=100-S, but it obviously does not apply universally to all daemons ( in case of AMD S=K=35). I can purge and re-install and the package, but I do not to loose all configuration settings. For example 2. Is there a command/tool to display status of all services in all runlevels. I recall that such tool existed in RedHat 8.0 /sbin/chkconfig --list if I am not mistaken. -- Ivan Teliatnikov F09 Madsen Bld.
