[NTLUG:Discuss] Start up services

[sysmail@glade.net]

Actually, chkconfig will help at least to some degree.

A comment like this in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/whateverscript controls the
levels the service should be started in, and the precedence for startup
and shutdown:

# chkconfig: 345 30 80

That means chkconfig should start the service in runlevels 3, 4, and 5,
and it should start at prioritiy 30, and terminate at priority 80.

Priority probably isn't a good term - the numbers indicate the order in
which things are started and stopped, not system priority.

I think chkconfig --reset will reset defaults - but I haven't verified
that.
