Very Computer

Hello,

Once I use chkconfig to turn services off I have noticed that some of the
ports published by these services are immediately terminated where in other
cases the ports are still published until I reboot.  I know that I should
not have to reboot.

What is the command for shutting down and restarting all services after
turning some off with chkconfig?

Thanks Randy

I don't know for sure this is right answer, but it appears as though running
inetd after making changes with chkconfig makes the changes take effect.

If this is isn't correct please let me know.

Thanks Randy

That is not correct. And please quote in context.

Chkconfig is responsible for setting up the links in /etc/rcX.d.
I am not sure whether it aktually stops services in use. It seems
you use an RH based distribution. If this is so, take a look at
/etc/rc.d/rc. There is a section in it that runs the KILL scripts
before running the START scripts. You might have to cut these
sections and paste into a script file and then run the file.

HI,

Can you please tell us what the correct answer is for shutting down and
restarting all the services administered by chkconfig?  I have found that
the ports and often times not opened or closed automatically after making a
change using chkconfig to turn them off and on.

I do not know what you mean by "please quote in context".

Thanks
Randy

To the best of my knowledge there isn't one. The closest is
init. To kill and start all the services in a runlevel you
would do:

init 1; init 3

or

init 1; init 5

as tthe case may be. Check your /etc/inittab for the runlevels
used on your system

/etc/rc.d/init.d/servicename stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/servicename start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/servicename restart

Where servicename is the service you want to stop,start, or restart.

On Red Hat, I use the command "init 1". Run level 1 (on RH) is single user
mode. To bring the machine back up to the default run level, type "exit".
(you may have to login if single user mode is secured) See "man init" for
more info.

If you're on RH, you can use:

service <service_name> stop
service <service_name> start
service <service_name> restart

Where <service_name> is replaced with the service you want to address,
e.g. xinetd, xntpd, afs, autofs, etc.

and "stop", "start", "restart" are what you want the service to do.
Stop kills it, start starts it, restart does a stop then start.

Good luck.

Cheers,
Dave
