runlevel by including the necessary numbers in the names of these links. If you prefer
a graphical tool to create such links, use the runlevel editor provided by YaST, as de-
scribed in
Section 19.2.3, "Configuring System Services (Runlevel) with YaST"
(page 382).
If a script already present in /etc/init.d/ should be integrated into the existing
runlevel scheme, create the links in the runlevel directories right away with insserv or
by enabling the corresponding service in the runlevel editor of YaST. Your changes
are applied during the next reboot—the new service is started automatically.
Do not set these links manually. If something is wrong in the INFO block, problems
will arise when insserv is run later for some other service. The manually-added
service will be removed with the next run of insserv.
19.2.3 Configuring System Services
(Runlevel) with YaST
After starting this YaST module with YaST > System > System Services (Runlevel), it
displays an overview listing all the available services and the current status of each
service (disabled or enabled). Decide whether to use the module in Simple Mode or in
Expert Mode. The default Simple Mode should be sufficient for most purposes. The left
column shows the name of the service, the center column indicates its current status,
and the right column gives a short description. For the selected service, a more detailed
description is provided in the lower part of the window. To enable a service, select it
in the table then select Enable. The same steps apply to disable a service.
