Runlevel
If you are adding or modifying a service, mark the runlevels in which the service
should start.
Start Service After Adding or Stop Before Deleting
If you clear this option and you are starting a service, the service does not start
until Linux is restarted in one of the marked runlevels. If you clear this option and
you are deleting a service, the service is not stopped before it is deleted.
This action posts information over the Internet to a Web server. (Example: Use it to
gather information about the Linux computer during installation.)
Requirements
You must set up a CGI program or Active Server Page (.ASP) on the server that
accepts data sent by an HTTP POST operation and deciphers encoded characters.
The Linux computer must have a valid Internet connection.
To complete the dialog box
Destination URL
Enter the URL of the CGI program or .ASP page that accepts posted data.
Text to Post
Enter one or more lines in the following format:
field=data
where field is the name of the field as it is expected by the CGI program, and data is
the data to be sent in that field. If a line does not appear to contain a field name
followed by =, it is assumed to be a continuation of the previous line, and the data
on the two lines is concatenated and sent with a single field name.
The field name can be a variable name, but it does not have to be. Also, you can
enter a variable in place of the data. Precede the variable name with a $ and follow
standard conventions for naming Linux shell variables.
This action either reads a text file that is on the Linux computer and writes the contents
of the file to a variable, or writes the contents of a variable to a text file on the Linux
computer.
When the action is run, the results are placed in the $RETURNCODE variable:
0 The action ran successfully.
non-zero The action was unsuccessful.
