Yes. You can use that script to start (and then stop) the service on demand. /etc/init.d/apache2 start That directory is where the template script resides. You can restore the defaults later if you need to. update-rc.d apache2 defaults Or use some custom selection of sequence and runlevels. The defaults are fished out of the template script and you can view them there in the script. > BTW, how do I know, my runlevel is 2? > $ nice > 0 runlevel is kind of an anachronism. You can find it by running 'runlevel' and you can change it by running 'telinit' It is/was used to have different constellations of services running, effectively putting the machine into different modes of operation. > and what does 17 stand for? 17 is the sequence in which the script is executed. It can be anything 00 - 99. Look at the numbers of the other scripts in /etc/rc2.d/ The manual pages for update-rc.d, runlevel, and telinit cover a lot of details and some background. The whole mess is referred to as SystemV init scripts. Regards, /Lars -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
