From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120 Description of problem: Hello, Under http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/custom-guide/access-services.html it is explained how can start,stop services under RHL 7.2 . I have found inccorect the explanations or maybe not accurate: See from original place: " * chkconfig -- a command-line utility that allows you to turn services on and off for the different runlevels. Changes do not take effect immediately. Services can not be started, stopped, or restarted using this utility." Well this is incorrect since I can immediately start stop lets say ntalkd via chkconfig. So this is not exact information under your docs. Please confirm . As well this works to start stop any other services with the immediate results. So I don't understand why do you see is applicable with no immediate effects !? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Check the above link 2. 3. Additional info:
Changes do not take effect immediately for non-xinetd services such as autofs and crond. Changes do take effect for xinetd services such as ntalk. I have changed it to chkconfig -- a command-line utility that allows you to turn services on and off for the different runlevels. Changes do not take effect immediately for non-xinetd services. Non-xinetd services can not be started, stopped, or restarted using this utility. Does this make sense to you?
