how to set a service to start any time the system reboot

phongly2000 · 01-16-2009, 11:24 AM

my sshd deamon is off any time I reboot the box, to bring it back on, I have to manually do '/etc/init.d/sshd start'.

Is there any way I can set so the service automatically start anytime the box is rebooting? Thanks

First do "chkconfig --list ssh"
This will show what runlevel, if any, it is turned on for and also if it is listed in the services to begin with.

If its listed, than just do "chkconfig ssh on"

P.S-when typing commands typed everything within the quotes NOT INCLUDING THE QUOTES.

sorry to bother you guys, I've found the answer as below:

#/sbin/chkconfig ssdh on (for redhat)

#chkconfig ssdh on (for sles and others)
