I am trying to setup vnc server for my fedora 7 box. I keep seeing references to chkconfig but I can not make the command run. I did a search for a file with that name with no luck.
The tell me to run this command:
chkconfig vncserver off
But I can not run it I get:
[savone@bighat ~]$ chkconfig 35 vncserver off
-bash: chkconfig: command not found
[savone@bighat ~]$
chkconfig and other system tools are normally in the /sbin directory in which regular users do not have access to. if you use sudo, you will need to edit ~/.bash_profile to add it to your path
