diff bw/ unused and dead
OS: Suse Ent Server 10(sles 10)
when I stop some services, and then check the status, it shows the status as "dead", while some other stoped services shows the status as "unused" ... may I know why ?
e.g
#rcnamed stop
Shutting down name server BIND done
# rcnamed status
Checking for nameserver BIND dead
#rcsquid stop
Shutting down WWW-proxy squid done
# rcsquid status
Checking for WWW-proxy squid unused
"rcsquid status " shows me "unused", while "rcnamed status " shows me "dead"
likewise some services which are not configured to start at boot time, displays their status, as "unused" ... why, If a service is configured not to run automatically(during boot), then why it shows its status as "unused". Following is the snippet from messages/activities appear on the console during the system startup
xend unused
xendomains unused
Mount SMB/ CIFS File Systems unused
My point is if a service is not configured to run automatically, it should remain silent, why it displays its status as "unused".
I am asking this because i have a lot many sevices that are cofigured not to run automatically during system startup, and they remain silent, i.e those services doesnt display any message like "apache unused"
I think I have cleared/explain my points
likewise what is runlevel "B", in yast > system > System Services(runlevel)
Plz help

Re: diff bw/ unused and dead
The dead status probably occurs when the daemon is not running but a file related with the daemon is found in /var/run or /var/lock.

Re: diff bw/ unused and dead
and "dead" seems to be a name for situation when daemon crashed but status file[s](under /var/run/, /var/lock/subsys) exist.

Re: diff bw/ unused and dead
whenever i stope the named service, its status shows as "dead",... there is no chance of "daemon crash" becuase named works quite fine, no eror, every query resolves, perfectly, and no error/warning in logs also.
Even I also check the issue, that I started the services, and then immediately stoped the service, but again the status shows me as "dead"

Re: diff bw/ unused and dead
