Actually I forgot to add that if you really just want to change the startup order you can change that in the startup scripts by renaming them. In the /etc/rc3.d directory are files that have S followed by a number and the name of the script. The number indicates the start sequence going low to high. In the /etc/init.d directory are the actual scripts. In those scripts there should be comment lines similar to: # chkconfig: 2345 24 96 That line indicates the runlevels the script should be in as well as the kill and start sequence numbers. This is used by chkconfig to make the symbolic links into the rc#.d directories. -- Scot L. Harris webid@xxxxxxxxxx What we see depends on mainly what we look for. -- John Lubbock
