Easily Control Service Auto-start Using Chkconfig

A friend showed me this and I've used it a few times since. Here's the easiest way to make a service auto start or stop after reboot:

chkconfig servicename on to auto-start and chkconfig servicename off to stop auto-startup.

Thanks, Lenny! Also, can anyone remind me what command I use to add regular user bins to root's path? (ie. add /usr/bin)

i tried this command on my ubuntu box several times/versions until i realized that i’ve to use “update-rc.d” instead. just to mention it.

to answer your question. if i understood correctly you want to expand root’s search path for binaries?!

put following line

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin

in the end of the file

~/.bashrc

logout yourself and login again

and check with

echo $PATH

whether path is now complete or not.
