Linux Boot Process
System startup files - rc (continued)
- The order in which each service is stopped or started is critical due to interdependencies between some of them
- init runlevels can be edited manually or by using one of ntsysv (text-GUI terminal script), chkconfig (terminal text), or the system-config-services (GUI) tool to configure services to be started and stopped by runlevel.
- Both ntsysv and system-config-services sort services in an appropriate order defined by the dependencies and the system and create required links.
- You will have to be able to use chkconfig.
