Script to turn off unneeded services

[Tobias Speckbacher]

Hrmmm, just checked on an older system, it seems redhat decided to
expand the functionality of chkconfig in their ES products to include
runlevel 2.

So for what Reuben stated earlier seems to be true for RH8, possibly 9
and changed on ES and AS probably in fedora too.

Actually on my ES3 system the man page also includes runlevel 2 in the
default for on/off:

"By  default,  the on and off options affect only runlevels 2, 3, 4, and
5, while reset affects all of the runlevels.  The --level option may be
used to specify which runlevels are affected."

That leaves ummm 0 (halt), 1 (single user) and 6 (reboot).

Cheers,

Tobias

"By default, the on and off options affect only runlevels 3, 4, and 5,

reset affects all of the runlevels.  The --level option may be used to 
specify which run- levels are affected."
