Redhat Enterprise Linux - Start service on boot




Redhat enterprise Linux comes with two nice commands
ntsysv - simple TUI (text based interface) interface for configuring runlevels. 

chkconfig - chkconfig provides a simple command-line tool for maintaining the /etc/rc[0-6].d directory hierarchy by relieving system administrators of the task of directly manipulating the numerous symbolic links in those directories.

Turn on sshd service on boot
Code:
chkconfig sshd on
Turn on MySQL service on boot
Code:
chkconfig mysqld on
Turn on Apache / httpd service on boot
Code:
chkconfig httpd on
Turn OFF Apache / httpd service on boot
Code:
chkconfig httpd off
List if service is on of off on boot
Use --list option which lists all of the services which chkconfig knows about, and whether they are stopped or started in each runlevel:
Code:
/sbin/chkconfig --list
Sample O/p of above command

Adding a New Hard Drive to Linux using LVM

I did this on RHEL 5.5. You should have the new drive created and added to the machine before you start anything.First you need to fdisk the drive like any other drive in linux. One key step is that you need to change the type; option ?t? to ?8e? for lvm. root@itsme ~# fdisk /dev/sdc Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable. The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 7832. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite) Command (m for help): n Command action e ex...
