On my SLES9 SP3's the output of chkconfig -t (terse list mode) says
various services are "on" but chkconfig -l (list mode) says those same
services are "off".
I probably misunderstand what it's trying to tell me. Can someone
enlighten me?
Example for boot.multipath:
chkconfig -t boot.multipath
boot.multipath on
According to the man page, terse mode shows the current mode of the
selected service. This is similar (same as?) doing a
"/etc/init.d/boot.multipath status" call.
chkconfig -l boot.multipath
boot.multipath 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off
6:off
List mode shows the name and what will happen at the next star at that
runlevel. So the service is currently running, but has not been set to
run when the runlevel changes (such as after a restart.
I have had this problem with both this command and the Yast panels; you
can turn on the service, but it wont turn it on explicitly in each
runlevel, unless you say so.
