Problem with rc.d jobs not starting

vockleya · 02-04-2010, 05:15 PM

I just reinstalled linux on one of my computers, and now it seems that any scripts in the rc.d folders don't run at boot. I have to go in manually and start them all after I can get to a terminal. I have webmin running on this computer, and no matter what I do, it always says that nothing is supposed to start on boot, even though the scripts are clearly in their respective rc.d folders. What can I do to fix this?

Quite a few things that could be off. If you want to avoid a longer, tedious troubleshooting session:

chkconfig makes it relatively easy to manage.

# Get a service list
chkconfig
# Add:
chkconfig <service> on

Alternatively:

sudo /usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f <name of script> defaults
