How do I get the rc runtime editor to show again?


How do I start the ncurses rc runtime services selector you get when you install to run aggain to allow to make changes?

As root, run 'pkgtool' then select 'Setup' then select 'services'.

The alternative is to simply to make the appropriate script in /etc/rc.d/<scriptname> executable using 'chmod +x <scriptname>'. To deselect a service use 'chmod -x <scriptname>'.

You can also start, restart or stop services on the fly by executing '/etc/rc.d/<scriptname> start' or '/etc/rc.d/<scriptname> restart' or '/etc/rc.d/<scriptname> stop' respectively.
