Services Newbie


Hello, I just got a new computer and turned my old one into a firewall/Folding@Home machine. I have it set, so there aren't any users logged in and X isn't started.

My question is. If nobody is logged in, will these services still run the way they're supposed to?

I set Folding@Home to run automatically in rc.local and Firestarter is a registered service (in Mandriva's control panel).

Yes they will run even if no users are logged in since they are setup as system services.
