    Deamon process list

    Hi,

    I am trying to get familiar with linux architecture. If i type in chkconfig --list I get a list of processes and their runtime levels.

    Do all of these process list have a init script in init.d folder with the same name as in list?

    Example:

    Does the list

    acpid 0: off 1: off 2: off 3: on 4: on 5: on 6: off
    anacron 0: off 1: off 2: on 3: on 4: on 5: on 6: off
    apmd 0: off 1: off 2: on 3: on 4: on 5: on 6: off

    have the init scipts names acpid,anacron,apmd in init.d folder?

    thanks in advance. I am using CentOS5

    Why not to peep inside the system. It wont get angry.
    # ls /etc/init.d/
    Never make any misteaks.

    Yes, except for thing like chargen, daytime etc (if you have them enabled), they come from inetd or xinetd (/etc/inted.d or /etc/xinetd.d).

    But as b2bwild say's go and have a look (and any other stuff), they are only text files and it's good way of gaining a knowledge - you never know when you might have to create your own startup scripts.
