I'm just getting to grips with RedHat and I have a couple of questions (hope this is the correct list)
In the 7.3 reference guide the boot process is described, namely init runlevels. It gives the example of runlevel 5, and shows that when going to init 5, services including httpd, smb, named and nfs are sent a stop command, which I'm assuming stops the daemon. I know I'm understanding it wrongly somehow as I'm sure there's no way the web, samba, dns and nfs servers get stopped when going to init 5 but I don't know what I'm missing. Could someone please explain the difference between K* and S* sym links in the rc<X>.d directories? My second question is, what is the recommended way to add a new service? (I can't find it in the manuals) Thanks Nigel ITM Business Solutions Unit 4 Nine Trees Trading Estate Morthen Road Rotherham S66 9JG Reception Tel: 01709 703288 Fax: 01709 701549 Help Desk Tel:01709 530424 Fax: 01709 702159 CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This message is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
