Well in any case I thank *Both* of you very much!
Actually I'm glad I saw both versions because it makes me notice
something. Looking at the above I think I begin to understand that this
chkconfig is basically an automated way to check on, add, or remove the links in
/etc/rc.d/* to the currently installed service daemons? Thus when I
manually moved the links to yum-updatesd from those directories,
I effectively {did ???} what either of the above commands should
accomplish? And that on a redhat system entering something like:
# chkconfig yum-update on
- -or perhaps-
$ su -c 'checkconfig --levels 345 yum-updatesd on'
Should automatically insert the {correctly prefixed "K[0-9][0-9]" links ?}
to yum-updatesd back into at least the rc3.d, rc4.d & rc5.d directories so
that I wouldn't even have to remember exactly where in the run level
initialization sequence yum-updatesd needs to start, should I ever want
it back???
Did I get the right idea of it?
I hope I got it right, cause I'm saving these messages in a place that
I should still be able to find when next I upgrade either of my fedora
installations to a newer core. Or in case some 'yum update' run should
turn it back on for some reason...
