Suse 9.1 Console: Apache Start on Reboot 1

[CodeDeficitDisorder]

I have two questions regarding Apache httpd on Suse 9.1 :


1. Which file do I modify to start Apache automatically when the server reboots?

2. Is there a better console text program that ships with Suse 9.1? I'm currently using vi which is not very user-friendly.

Thanks in advance!!!

Sure, there's emacs. ;-)

Actually, here's my recommendation.

There may be Pico, it comes as part of Pine, that's about the only console editor I can think that's kinda user friendly.

But, learn vi. It is actually incredibly powerful once you learn it and it is almost guaranteed to be available on any unix box you log into.

Finally, Emacs is without a doubt the most powerful text editor ever invented. If you are going to be doing hard core unix development or extensive system administration, there is nothing else like it.

ericbrunson,

Hey, you've answered at least one of my questions on a previous post! Thanks again for more advice. You must be a Tek-Tips junkie like me, lol.

I just discovered that the file that starts programs at reboot in Suse 9.1 is:
/etc/init.d/boot.local

Likewise, the file that closes programs before reboot in Suse 9.1 is:
/etc/init.d/halt.local

Thanks!

Suse uses runlevels. Use Yast to edit runlevels to start and stop services at startup!
