[Cooker] Services Dependences
If portmap is not setup at boot and this services enabled : netfs, nfs, nfslock the boot hangs indefinitly. Happily, CD1 in rescue mode allows to repair it. But this is very difficult for a beginner : - Boot with allowing boot on CD - F1, rescue, mount on mnt, console, keyboard fr, cd /mnt/etc/init.d - vi netfs, nfs, nfslock - insertion of exit 1 at the beginning of each file. - reboot with disabling boot on CD - vi netfs, nfs, nfslock to remove exit 1 - use of DrakXServices to disable netfs, nfs, nfslock at boot. There two ways to avoid this lock : - DrakXServices : check the daemons launched at boot after pressing OK. - /etc/init.d/* check the presence of required daemons Both of them ? -- Pierre Jarillon - http://pjarillon.free.fr/ Vice-président de l'ABUL : http://abul.org/

[Cooker] Services
I am hacking the i8kutils(*) package (as far as I can see, there is no Mandrake version of it) to make it more Mandrake-friendly and possibly to generate an rpm. It comes with SistemV style service script, but for Debian, which uses different program and conventions for the scripts. Is there a rule on how to write a service script for Mandrake or should I just try to copy from another script (e.g. lm_sensors, which does similar things)? Does drakservices automatically see what is in /etc/init.d or should it be made aware of new scripts? How do I assign priority to the service? (I mean, the number that appear in the link to the script from the runlevel init directory)? Thanks Biagio (*) i8kutils is a package written by a Debian developer and containing utilities for monitoring fan speed and CPU temperature on several Dell laptop models. It also allows to use the multimidia buttons.

Yes, this is what you should do. Does drakservices automatically see what is in /etc/init.d or should it be made aware of new scripts? How do I assign priority to the service? (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! --

[Cooker] services servers in screen where services can be (de)activated during install
During the installation in the screen where one can (de)activate services there is the following oddity: services listing active servers serverslisting active services Shouldn't this be the other way around or am I totally missing something? This also the case in the Control Center when one presses the infos button. (I also think this should just be info in English) Jo
[Cooker] Services and deamons and DrakConf
Hi! First of all, DrakConf has improved tremendously over the last months! I do have a problem with Services and deamons though. There's a Start button beside each service, but when I click on them I get a tooltip saying unrecognized service and nothing happens. Why? Even NT does that better, we can't have that, can we? :) Regards, Mattias
