To see if a service is "on" or "off", it checks for the existence of the symlinks in the /etc/rcN.d directories When you issue the command "chkconfig sendmail on", chckconfig looks for the "chkconfig:" line in the actual /etc/init.d/ In the sendmail case (i'm looking at RHEL3 at the moment) the chkconfig: line in /etc/init.d/sendmail reads chkconfig: 2345 80 30 issuing the command "chkconfig sendmail on" will create symlinks /etc/rd1.d/K30sendmail /etc/rd2.d/S80sendmail /etc/rd3.d/S80sendmail /etc/rd4.d/S80sendmail /etc/rd5.d/S80sendmail /etc/rd6.d/K30sendmail issuing the command "chkconfig --list sendmail" checks for the existence of the start and kill links in the various runlevels (/etc/rcN.d/) to output its startup configuration > > Where do chkconfig and system-config-services store their settings? > > I checked the man pages and Google and no luck, then tried making a change > to chkconfig and running "find / -mmin 10", and nothing obvious showed up. > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list >
