The Runlevel Editor can be called from the control-panel, or it can
be called by it's program name, tksyv.
$ su -
Password:
# export DISPLAY=0:0
# tksysv
A word of warning from the Help screen of tksysv:
Be warned, it does not cache changes. When you change something, it's
changed. It does store a backup of your /etc/rc.d tree in /tmp/tksysv/rc.d,
so you can restore it with:
cp -arf /tmp/tksysv/rc.d /etc
It makes this copy every time you run it, so don't messup, restart,
and then try and recover.
There is also more information about how to use the Runlevel Editor
in the help screen, once you have the application running.
When you start the Runlevel Editor you will be greeted by a panel consisting
of nine selection boxes and four command buttons. The left selection
box contains all the available system daemons or programs. This is
where you choose the applications you wish to have started. On the
right are eight selection panels representing runlevels two through
five, one for starting programs and snother for stopping. The runlevels
are as follows
Runlevel 2 Multi-user with no network active
Runlevel 3 Multi-user with networking active
Runlevel 4 Custom runlevel
Runlevel 5 Multi-user with networking and X, X login and X gui started
with system initialization
Runlevel 1, single user mode, is not configurable from the Runlevel
Editor, and Runlevel 6 is shutdown.
To add an application to a runlevel pick the application in the left
panel, then click on add. A new dialog box will appear. You must choose
whether you are editing the start or stopping of the daemon, and at
what runlevel your choices will effect.
To remove an application from a runlevel, simply click on the application
name, at the runlevel you wish to effect and then choose the Remove
button to prevent it from starting or stopping at that runlevel.
