Hi!
I am getting a warrning on sendmail start that it is missing
spamass.sock. OK, I have spamass-milter configured and it is
running fine but how do I make it start before sendmail on FC4?
Now spamassassin and spamass-milter are starting after sendmail.
So I need to start daemons in the following order:
spamassassin
spamass-milter
sendmail
Navigate to /etc/init.d and take a look at the files there. 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.

Thanx Mike. This was very good explanation. Now I can configure my
daemons boot order.
