SUSE 12.3 – How to auto start services…?

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/07/14

Old (somehow it was blocked in the post queue), but sometimes still relevant for more modern services as, well sysv versus systemd war still are not over yet…

Interesting: systemctl gives flaky results for many services.

chkconfig nfs
chkconfig nfs on

Source: [WayBack] SUSE 12.3 – How to auto start services…?

This is on my system:

revue:~ # systemctl is-enabled shellinabox
shellinabox.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install
Executing /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install is-enabled shellinabox
shellinabox  off
enabled
revue:~ # rcshellinabox status
Checking for service shellinabox                                                       unused
● shellinabox.service - LSB: shellinabox
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/shellinabox)
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
revue:~ # rcshellinabox start
redirecting to systemctl start shellinabox.service
revue:~ # chkconfig shellinabox
shellinabox  off
revue:~ # chkconfig shellinabox on
revue:~ # chkconfig shellinabox
shellinabox  on
