Manage Services/Daemons in Fedora Core, CentOS, FreeBSD, Debian, Ubuntu
I introduce you my small manual for Linux Administrators how in most popular Linux-family OS config your services/daemons with comfortable tools.
Manage Services/Daemons in Fedora Core / CentOS / Red Hat
After you have created your own service, placed it in /etc/init.d/ dir, you need to set the runlevel for it.
To control services either use
chkconfig
or
ntsysv
if you are using the command line, or use
system-config-services
in the GUI. Gnome users: System > Administration > Server Settings > Services.
Manage Services/Daemons in Debian / Ubuntu
For Debian I recommend you to use sysvconfig package.
To install do the following:
apt-get install sysvconfig
Enjoy!
Manage Services/Daemons in FreeBSD
Unfortunately, in FreeBSD there is no such comfortable utility to manage services. You need do edit
/etc/rc.conf manually.
