Confusing. Not really. The hint is in the name (check config). You're checking or changing a *configuration*. If you want to do something else, like start and stop the service it configures, that's something *else*. You *might* *also* want to look into the "service" command. e.g. service httpd start -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ rm -rfd /*^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Huname -ipr 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7. Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
