Most files will have lines at the beginning that looks like this: #! /bin/bash # # chkconfig: 2345 10 91 # description: start and stop ISDN services # In this case the chkconfig line says that this utility will have a start priority of "10" and stop priority of "91". See "man chkconfig" for a explanation of this header. For example, take a look a my isdn utility at all run levels: # chkconfig --list | grep isdn isdn 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off and looking at the indvidual entries in the /etc/rc.d/* directories you can see the corresponding files: # ls -Rw 1 /etc/rc.d/*/*isdn* /etc/rc.d/init.d/isdn /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K91isdn /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K91isdn /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K91isdn /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K91isdn /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/K91isdn /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/K91isdn /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K91isdn Now, start isdn on runleves 3, 4, and 5: # chkconfig --levels 345 isdn on # chkconfig --list | grep isdn isdn 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off # ls -Rw 1 /etc/rc.d/*/*isdn /etc/rc.d/init.d/isdn /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K91isdn /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K91isdn /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K91isdn /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S10isdn /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S10isdn /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S10isdn /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K91isdn Now I want to start isdn at a differnt priority, say 9 instead of 10 ( a tad sooner ): Edit /etc/init.d/isdn to look like this: #! /bin/bash # # chkconfig: 2345 9 91 and now use chkconfig to re-do the files: # chkconfig --levels 345 isdn on # ls -Rw 1 /etc/rc.d/*/*isdn /etc/rc.d/init.d/isdn /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K91isdn /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K91isdn /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K91isdn /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S09isdn /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S09isdn /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S09isdn /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K91isdn And now you can see that the files in rc3.d, rc4.d, and rc5.d have a priority value of 9 instead of 10 and are started just a tad sooner.
