(I mean, the number that appear in >the link to the script from the runlevel init directory)? Take a look at chkconfig and it's man page. The numbers in the comment on top of a chkconfig enabled initscript show the priority, help text and the runlevels in which the service should start. You also need to call chkconfig --add yourservice in the %post script, if you want to enable it by default. -- Götz Waschk <> master of computer science <> University of Rostock http://wwwtec.informatik.uni-rostock.de/~waschk/waschk.asc for PGP key --> Logout Fascism! <--
