How to restart httpd, inetd, atalkd?
Campbell-Lange
Hi to all.
I'd be grateful for help on how to restart httpd, inetd and atalkd
(particularly the latter) after making changes. The machine is used a
lot and I can't afford to keep on restarting it!
Please email me directly too - I receive the digest.
Thanks
Rory

If this is a "how do I restart them each boot" kind of thing:
go to /etc/rc.d/ . There you will find "run-level" directories (rc5.d is
for starting/stopping r-l 5 things). 'rc0.d/K15httpd', for example shuts
down httpd at RL 0. 'rc5.d/S85httpd' starts httpd at RL 5. Find the ones
that have httpd, inetd and atalkd. If you see one is a "K", and you want
the daemon to run at that RL, change it to a "S". If neither exists, copy
the corresponding script from /etc/rc.d/init.d to /etc/rc.d/rcX.d, or link
them.
Lets say I wanted to prevent httpd from starting at all. Currently, I have
(in /etc/rc.d):
./init.d/httpd
./rc0.d/K15httpd
./rc1.d/K15httpd
./rc2.d/K15httpd
./rc3.d/S85httpd
./rc4.d/S85httpd
./rc5.d/S85httpd
./rc6.d/K15httpd
I could mv rc5.d/S85httpd to rc5.d/K15httpd (and the rc3.d and rc4.d ones
also). Or I could just delete the init.d/httpd (though then you'd have
to re-install httpd if you ever wanted it back).
I'm sure this isn't 100% correct, but it works for me.
Cheers,
Mike

First, to simply restart a service:
/etc/rc.d/init/httpd restart
(and replace httpd with inet or atalkd for the other services...)
now, instead of fiddling with links in the /etc/rc.d/<runlevel>.d
directory tree, you can use the chkconfig utility.
Let's say you want to have httpd start every time you boot, in runlevels
3,4 and 5:
chkconfig --level 345 httpd on
Let's also say you want to disable atalkd in runlevel 4
chkconfig --level 4 atalkd off
(more options available... read the manpage :) but I rarely use the other
ones)
and so on. Much cleaner that manually setting the links, since chkconfig
will determine exactly what the link's name should be.
(I'm not sure if chkconfig is on LinuxPPC, but it's there on RedHat Linux
for x86 and ARM)
Cheers,
Patrix.

Do that, and all of your network services will go down. Not only that it
will in no way restart the services you desire except for maybe inetd, but
see above point#1.
If you installed via RPM's you can use the SYS V rc (run control) scripts
found under /etc/rc.d/init.d/. Typically the control script has the same
name as the protocol (but there is no hard and fast rule, at least not one
that is recognized ;-). For httpd it would be "/etc/rc.d/init.d/http" (or
you could use apachectl in the bin directory of the Apache install
directory, usually /usr/local/apache). For atalkd it is
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk". Simply pass the restart parameter to the script to
restart: "/etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk restart". If the script doesn't understand
restart, you can use a "stop" then "start". Both of the above should
understand "restart."
For inetd, it is more efficient (and prone to less headaches) to send a HUP
signal to the inetd process: "kill -HUP XXX" where XXX is the process id of
inetd as reported by ps. The inet script will restart the entire network
services system, which you don't need to do to simply restart inetd.

duh. I've actually used this once, and promptly forgot about it.
This is obviously the better method, so you don't have to clean up
after any mistakes!
Thanks,

I've used the 'chkconfig' program to do this and it has worked for me
successfully.
# /sbin/chkconfig --list httpd
httpd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
To turn on httpd do
# /sbin/chkconfig httpd on
# /sbin/chkconfig --list httpd
httpd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
This of course will start it up the next time that run level comes around.
See 'man chkconfig' for more useful info.

Excuse me but all of these options are only cool for scripting these days
...
Better look for a program called 'ksysv'
It is the kind of tool that you wish was available for all configuration
needs
I suspect it must be part of some KDE development efforts
I found it with my mandrake 7.1 installation
And I wouldnt want to have to deal with any manual keyboard way anymore !
If it is not allready part of the LinuxPPC installation Please see if it
compiles (it should) and make sure to include it on future versons !!!
ksysv makes the setup and restarting of demons a drag and drop and click and
done kind of thing YEHA :)
cheers

Much cleaner to rename the file in /init.d to something like httpd.disabled
- that is why all the links point there. If you want to use RedHat specific
tools, you can use chkconfig as noted by others.
