Hi grp

I installed RH WS 9 on my box and somehow i used cleanlinks to remove the symlinks ... but i ruined my days to come ...

all the links for the different rc.d (at all levels ) are missing ...now i dont know wot is missing .... so that i can replace them

Is there any solution is there any collection of rc.*.script for remaking theese files?

If not , can some1 send me all the files in a ziped format ...

That seems odd, cleanlinks should only delete symlinks that point to non-existent files.

I haven't used an RH system in a while, but I assume they still use chkconfig. If so, you can regenerate the symlinks by runnning

Code:

chkconfig --add

on each file in /etc/init.d.

This script should do it (run as root):

Code:

#!/bin/sh

cd /etc/init.d
for i in *
do
chkconfig --add $i
done

Or you can just run it from a command line.

Each file in /etc/init.d has (or should have) a magic line that tells it what rc?.d directories to make links in:

Code:

# chkconfig: 2345 20 80

This says the service should be started in runlevels 2, 3, 4, and 5, with a start priority of 20 and a stop priority of 80. The priorities determine what order services are started or stopped at within a runlevel -- you want to make sure you start the network before you start httpd, for example.
