Thanks for the information. I see what it's doing now. Seems like kind of "doing it the hard way" ... but what the heck, it works... :-)
How could that be doing it the hard way, the hard way would be to open a configuration file, change the setting of the service in a run level, save the configuration file, run a script to make the changes based on the configuartion file. As it stands chkconfig is a simple utility to get and/or set the on or off condition of a service in a given run level. When you consider the nature of the linux init and rcX.d service start and stop scheme then this is truly the easiest way to make such changes. If you want to really get a grip on the linux boot process then have a read from the IBM site. http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-boot.html?ca=dgr-lnxw99-obg-BootFast -- John Registered Linux User 263680, get counted at http://counter.li.org
