Adding program to fedora startup: chkconfig and levels?

jrbiochem · 06-28-2004, 05:34 AM

Hi to all,

I'd like to be able to add and remove programs from my startup process in Fedora. For my apache installation, this was done with:

chkconfig --level 35 httpd on

Is this safe to do with any program? What level should I put things in at; I'm assuming 35 is not right for everything?

Thanks

Jon

That is actually levels 3 and 5.

Code:

# These are the default runlevels in Slackware:
#   0 = halt
#   1 = single user mode
#   2 = unused (but configured the same as runlevel 3)
#   3 = multiuser mode (default Slackware runlevel)
#   4 = X11 with KDM/GDM/XDM (session managers)
#   5 = unused (but configured the same as runlevel 3)
#   6 = reboot

On distros like Redhat, Fedora and Mandrake levels 4 and 5 are reversed.

I'm running fedora and I just used chkconfig --level 35 httpd on and now when I try to boot it gets to the point where it says "Welcome to Fedora Core Press 'I' for interactive startup" and just locks up there.
