Its human usable too, chkconfig --list in RH7 even makes the columns line up nicely now, no more using awk to do that, neat... Debian has something similar, suppose I could rip apart a daemon package and see... I'm also told Irix (Or was it solaris?) has a tool of the same name that does the same thing... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
