chkconfig used to gets its configuration info from comments in the init
scripts.
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)
$ head /etc/init.d/httpd
#!/bin/bash
#
# httpd Startup script for the Apache HTTP Server
#
# chkconfig: - 85 15
# description: Apache is a World Wide Web server. It is used to serve \
# HTML files and CGI.
# processname: httpd
# config: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
# config: /etc/sysconfig/httpd
Out of chkconfig's manpage:
###
Each service which should be manageable by chkconfig needs two or
more
commented lines added to its init.d script. The first line tells
chk-
config what runlevels the service should be started in by
default, as
well as the start and stop priority levels.
###
Using comments in executables for config info is annoying.
Don't know what those other lines are for. Hopefully they're actually
comments.
