RE: [LUG] MDK10: Services problem

["Robin Cornelius" <robin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

try using somting like ksysv (if you use KDE) or to do it by hand have a
look in the /etc/init.d/rc3.d (if you don't start X on boot) or
/etc/init.d/rc5.d (if you do start X on boot) the /etc/init.d/rcx.d folders
contain simlinks that determine what services to start and stop during
runlevel switching. prefix the simlink with an S to start or a K to kill the
number is the order it gets executed (lowest=first). To shutdown services on
system halt reboot place simlinks (with a K prefix) in rc1.d and rc6.d.
