Yes, it's a permenant method.

To tell if it is or isn't changed, use the command:

chkconfig --list nfs

It will list the 7 run-levels (0 through 6), and whether the service is On or Off.

For a standard system, run-level's 2-5 are all you need on for a service to be available normally. Run level's 0 and 6 are for halt and shutdown (respectivly), and 1 is for 'single user mode'.

The 'chkconfig' command manipulates the '/etc/rc.d/rc?.d/*' files, and can also manipulate '/etc/xinetd.d/*' files for services launched by the SuperDaemon 'xinetd'.

BTW,by definition runlevel 2 is: multi user mode without NFS.

Hello Peter,

you should see something like this:

# /sbin/chkconfig --list nfs
nfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off

# /sbin/chkconfig --level 345 nfs on#

# /sbin/chkconfig --list nfs
nfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

Settings will become active with the next runlevel change (e.g. reboot).

Greetings, Martin

Peter,

I wanted to offer my thanks and congrats. I see you took the time to assign points to your previous responses.

All itrc citizens really appreciate that.

Your question is already answered and I have nothing to add.

If my methodology or words upset you or offended you, please accept my apologies. I often get a little emotional in ways that are not necesarily good for my own mental health.

I encourage you to keep using the forums, assigning those points and wish you all the success in the world.
