Most people start their daemons in the rc.conf file. See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rc.conf DR David C. Rankin wrote:
Listmates,
How is process loading handled at boot in Arch Linux? I found:
[19:32 archangel:/etc] # ls -1 rc* rc.conf rc.local rc.local.shutdown rc.multi rc.shutdown rc.single rc.sysinit
rc.d: <snip>
But before I started hacking things I thought I would ask where I should put things generally (rc.local?) and then where to put the services that might need to be started earlier than rc.local (rc.sysinit?) I thought I would ask before I make a royal fool out of myself. (I like to minimize those times)
Also, I have no problems setting the stuff up by hand, but I also wanted to check if there was any type of automated service manager like chkconfig, just in case. Thanks.
