There are gui tools on the menu for configuring "servers", but if you like command-line, read "man chkconfig".Hello. New linux user here. Downloaded/installed Fedora FC2. No problems, I was amazed!
I have a lot of Windows experience, and some Solaris.
I installed the server version of Fedora. I setup and have working sendmail, vsftpd, httpd, etc.
But I noticed they dont start at boot. I start them manually. From my solaris days I know I can start them with /etc/rc3.d/Swhatever start. I've also learned from this mailing list that I can start them with the command 'service whatever start'.
But how do I get them to load at boot? In Solaris, the existance of the S script in /etc/rc3.d was enough. But that doesnt seem to do it here?
thx, BM
Typical use:
chkconfig httpd on
chkconfig --list
[to see list of services and runlevels they are on for]
Sets httpd to start at runlevels 2,3,4,5.
service httpd start
Is convenient to start it manually, see help text from "service".
