Enabling Services on Startup after Installation

[mattireland]

Hi,

I've googled this but can't find anything useful. I stupidly didn't select some services I wanted to start on startup upon installation. Is there any way I can gt them to start up anyway?

The services I want to start are:

rc.atalk
rc.bind
rc.cups
rc.dnsmasq
rc.hald
rc.hplip
rc.httpd
rc.inetd
rc.ip_forward
rc.messagebus
rc.mysqld
rc.ntpd
rc.pcmcia
rc.rpc
rc.samba
rc.saslauthd
rc.scanluns
rc.sendmail
rc.snmpd
rc.syslog
rc.sshed

Thanks very much! Is all this sort of thing in the manual? I couldn't find it.......

Thanks again!

Matt. I

put everything with remark if possible into /etc/rc.d/rc.M or atleast /etc/rc.d/rc.local

I've not used Slackware for a couple of years, but I think you need to do

#chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.service

to disable a serivce from running at boot time

#chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.service
