Where to find info about INIT 5

jakkals · 01-20-2005, 02:50 AM

Some deamon or something sends stuff to my LPT port on INIT 5 (runlevel 5) and I need to keep the port clear because there's a PC card connected to it that has relays and stuff so sending bits to the port aint so welcome anytime.
Basically I need to know where I can find the file or something that tell me in what order stuff are started in INIT 5 and then I need to run this "script" to reset the port again just after the deamon was started.

Take a look at /etc/init.d/rc5.d to see the order the various daemons are started.
You can disable the offending daemon, if you don't need it, by changing it's name from Sxxdaemon (xx is a number indicating the starting order) to sxxdaemon.
