[TriLUG] rc.X -- how do the real sysadmins do it?

[Ryan Wheaton]

I'll admit that chkconfig is the best and easiest way to get these 
services to not load, but all it basically does is change the S to a K 
in front of the 'script' in whatever runlevel you're editing 
(/etc/rc3.d/ or /etc/rc5.d/ or whatever).  I used to go through and 
change all the S's to K's manually for RL 3 and 5, but then i found the 
light and that light was chkconfig ;-)
