chkconfig problem

[steven Burgess_2]

Hi everyone

Has anyone ever come across a problem and resolution where chkconfig re-orders the startup order of programs in the rc*.d directories ?

This is on a suse8.2 server

Regards

Steve

I remember that someone had a similar problem, that running chkconfig for one service changed the order for other services. It was with a hp service. OH! here it is:

Probably, the BEGIN INIT INFO block is confusing chkconfig as in the previous post, for information about this comment block see Linux Standard Base Core Specification:

Hi Ivan

That was the only thing I could see in the init scripts for additional software I have installed.

In this instance, its the run level and the order of execution

The culprit, i think is this

# chkconfig: 35 90 10
# description: Starts and stops the IBM Director service.

Will let you know how I get on with the
testing

Thanks

Steve
