Abstract
At boot time, a number of services (programs
running in background) performing a variety of tasks are started.
This tool gives the administrator control over those services.
See the The Start-Up Files: init sysv
chapter of the Reference Manual for more
information.
For each service, this is the list of items found in each column:
: click on that button to get a little explanatory text on that service;
On Boot: check this box if you wish this service to be automatically brought up at boot time[17]. Alternatively, if the service is a xinetd service the label Start when requested will be displayed. Checking the box will then mean to activate that service in xinetd. You will also have to make sure that the xinetd service itself is activated.
: immediately starts the service, or restarts it (stop+start) if it is already running;
