With RedHat, it starts automatically on boot. I don't know what distro you have, so that may vary. If it's RedHat or Mandrake, you should have a /etc/init.d/xfs script if the correct package is installed. To make sure it starts up automatically, there should be a link to it in the runlevel directory corresponding to the runlevel you are entering on startup (it sounds like you are starting at runlevel 5.) If you don't understand what I am talking about, do some homework. :-) The best way to understand things is to do the research and learn.
I personally use ntsysv to manage my startup script links. Use "man ntsysv" to learn how to use it. It's very simple. There are a lot of other programs that you can use to do this, or you can create and delete the links by hand. Again, you probably want to do some research and find the way you prefer to do it. One of the strengths of Linux is that it does not dictate policy to the user, but that's also a weakness. If you want a "standard" way to do things, you are going to hate it because there seldom is one. If you like options, you will have plenty. :-) On Thursday 02 January 2003 11:20 am, Jose Avalis wrote: > Sorry, I'm relatively new in Linux, I've tried to start fxs from command > line, but nothing happened, should I specify any parameter?? > > thanks a lot. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Eric Princen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2003 10:16 AM > Subject: Re: [Xpert]error after server crash > > > On RedHat, which I am most familar with, xfs is in it's own package and > > has > > > it's own startup script.
