Start services automatically (httpd & SMB)

krazyglue · 01-07-2004, 06:17 PM

I want to have smb service and httpd service run automatically before I log in (ie at bootup). I am running RH9 w/ a command line interface. I really need my hand held (step by step) for what i need to do to make this work.

Thank you,

In a termal window.
chkconfig --level 35 httpd on;
chkconfig --level 35 smbd on;

Or run
serviceconfig for a gui.

Thanks G,

It worked for the httpd, but not for the smb. Any ideas how to get that? Also, what is this line of command doing? Thanks for the info!

I read your post earlier this evening and then I did a man on chkconfig.

Sorry samba is sbm not smbd.
chkconfig --level 34 smd on;
The name of all of the services can be found with
chkconfig --list;

I got lots of services that auto start.

My question is how do we know which service we need and don't need? Some of the services' explaination is really confusing.

If you're unsure of a particular service you can look around for more info or ask in here.

Are there any "compulsory" services that needed to be started? Say I only use smb for samba? Can I remove the rest? Or there are also some of the services that are required by some other packages?
