Be somewhat creative. No immediate need to debug the Python code in
/usr/sbin/system-config-services, but you could move all service scripts
from /etc/init.d to a backup location, install a single script and see
whether that changes anything. With binary search you could find out
whether any of the scripts causes s-c-s to malfunction. Else, next would
be to empty /etc/rc.d/rc?.d (and/or examine it for circular links or
similar damage) and see whether that helps. If it doesn't, real debugging
might be necessary.

All of files moved out into a temp area and add one-by-one into the respective places? If so, do I remain in booted state and do a Kill -1 1 or something to test this out? What scares me is that if I reboot at each test, would I be caught
in a state that I could never log in?

Please advise how I should go about this?

Thanks!
Dan
