How to manage rc script using chkconfig?

By
39.How to manage rc script using chkconfig?
Ans.
1. Fedora core and Red hat enterprise Linux come with a useful tool called ‘chkconfig’.

 2. It helps the system administrator to manage rc script and xinetd configuration files without having to manipulate them directly.

 3. Type ‘chkconfig –list’ to see all the services chkconfig knows about, and whether they are started or stopped on each runlevel.

 4. Example:
atd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
The first column is a name of the installed service, the next 7 columns represents a runlevel and tell us whether that service is turned on or off in that runlevel.

 5. To turn a service on or off using chkconfig, we use following syntax:
Chkconfig –level[0-6] (you must choose a runlevel) servicename off|on|reset

 6. To turn off the gpm daemon turned on previously, type:
chkconfig –level 2 gpm off

 7. To turn on xinetd type:
chkconfig xined on

 8. Run chkconfig –list again to check the changed services are set to the state we desire.

Explain memory and virtual file system in Linux.

By
22.Explain memory and virtual file system in Linux. Ans. 1. These file systems do not exist on disk in the same way that traditional file systems do, they either exists entirely in the system memory or they are virtual because they are an interface to system devices. 2. cramfs: cramfs is designed to cram a file System onto a small flash memory device, so it is small, simple and able to compress things well. The largest file size is 16MB and the largest file system size is 256MB since cramfs is so compressed, it isn’t instantly updateable. 3. tmpfs: tmpfs is structured around the idea that whatever is put in the /tmp file system is accessed again shortly, tmpfs solely in memory, so what you put in /tmp doesn’t persist between reboots. 4. ramfs: ramfs is basically cramfs without the compression. 5. romfs: This is a read only file system that is mostly used for initial ramdisks of installation disks. It was designed to take up very little space, so you could fit a ke...
