Hi,

There's many ways of doing that, one of then is edit the /etc/inittab and insert a line like:

x:5nce:/bin/su -l user -c /usr/bin/X11/startx

You can change 5 for another runlevel, once to respawn or use other command beside startx ...

It can be done with kdm too if you prefer, it has a configuration tool in Kcontrol to facilitate this kind of work, and you will not need to modify your inittab ...

Edit /etc/inittab and change the line to read:

id:3:initdefault:

I.E. change the 5 to 3.

i can see in runlevel 3 i have bunch of services are queueing to start during the booting. how do i unactivate these services. i have noticed that in the directory /etc/rc3.d/, there are bunch of link files associated to /etc/rc.d/init.d/. and these link files will initiate the services. how to i turn off these services?

You can use:
chkconfig --list [name]
chkconfig --add <name>
chkconfig --del <name>
chkconfig [--level <levels>] <name> <on|off|reset>)

or remove the links ...
