Wow thanks everybody that was an awesome explanation. I'm not using a
GUI, so chkconfig is the piece I was missing. I understand it now,
and I've turned on the services I want via chkconfig.
Also thanks for the explanation of runlevels as opposed to how Solaris
handles them.
One additional question. I want to add a new service. I have a
network monitoring tool that I want to run at startup (BigBrother). I
read the man pages of chkconfig, and it doesn't provide a lot of
detail on how to add a new service. chkconfig --add is easy, but I'm
not sure what scripts it would need. Any advice on how to add a new
service?
Or I suppose I could just create a script in the appropriate /etc/rc directory.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!
