.Dt CHKCONFIG 8
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm chkconfig
|
|
.Nd rc.conf.d management utility
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Ar service
|
|
.Nm ""
|
|
.Op Fl f
|
|
.Ar service
|
|
.Op Ar on | off
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility allows a system administrator to easily manage services
|
|
started by
|
|
.Xr rc 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
With no arguments,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will print the state (on or off) of every service found in the
|
|
directory
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.conf.d/ .
|
|
The settings will be shown sorted according to the output of
|
|
.Xr rcorder 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Ar service
|
|
is specified as the sole argument,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
exits with status 0 if the service is
|
|
.Sq on
|
|
and status 1 if
|
|
.Sq off .
|
|
The exit status may be used by shell scripts to test the state of
|
|
a service, for example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
if chkconfig wscons; then
|
|
echo "wscons is on"
|
|
else
|
|
echo "wscons is off"
|
|
fi
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The optional third argument allows the specified service to be set
|
|
to
|
|
.Sq on
|
|
or
|
|
.Sq off
|
|
for the next time its
|
|
.Xr rc.d 8
|
|
script is run (generally the next system reboot).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In order for
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to display service status or to control service state, the service
|
|
must be managed by
|
|
.Nm "" .
|
|
A
|
|
.Nm
|
|
managed service is one that has the
|
|
.Xr rcorder 8
|
|
keyword
|
|
.Dq chkconfig
|
|
present in the
|
|
.Xr rc.d 8
|
|
script for that service. If a service's script does not contain
|
|
this keyword, it may still be managed by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
using the
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
flag. When this flag is used,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will automatically add the
|
|
.Dq chkconfig
|
|
keyword to the service's script.

|
|
.Nm

|
program currently does not support configuring the options
|
|
to be passed to services upon startup.
