START_FOO Variables Missing in SuSE Linux 8.0
Support knowledgebase (start_foo80)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Versions since 8.0
Situation
You are looking for a way to control the start of services. However,
you cannot find the START_SERVICE variables used in
previous SuSE Linux versions in /etc/rc.config
or in
/etc/sysconfig/*
.
Procedure
With SuSE Linux version 8.0, this concept has been completely
changed to comply with the LSB (Linux Standard Base).
The start of system services is now only controlled via the respective
links in /etc/init.d/rc?.d/
. A
graphical runlevel editor in YaST2 and the command-line tools insserv and chkconfig
are available for this purpose.
If you want Samba to start automatically when the system is booted, execute
the following command:
chkconfig -a smb
This will add the start script "smb" located in /etc/init.d/
to the corresponding runlevels.
For more information, please refer to the man pages on "insserv"
and "chkconfig", to your manual, and to the file /etc/init.d/README
.
