Problem

Every time you reboot your Linux Box – web server, samba server, etc is down.

Solution

Use chkconfig. See the example tab and then reference tab for man page.

Example

Show all services


chkconfig --list


List just httpd


chkconfig --list httpd


Change restart settings so web server starts at run level 5.
(do a runlevel to see normal level – most likely 5).


chkconfig --levels 5 httpd on
