Each of the scripts is written to accept an argument, which can be “start” and “stop” and are located under /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory. You can execute those scripts by hand in fact with a command like: For example: To start the httpd Web Server under Linux. [root@deep]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start To stop httpd Web Server under Linux. [root@deep]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop Check inside your /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory for services available and use command start | stop to work around. VII) Software that must be uninstalled after installation of the Server Red Hat Linux install other pre-established program in your system by default and don’t give you the choice to uninstall them during the install setup. For this reason, you must uninstall the following software on your system after the installation of your server: pump, mt-st, eject, bc, mailcap, quota, apmd, kernel-pcmcia-cs, linuxconf, getty_ps, setconsole, isapnptools setserial XFree86-video-card kudzu raidtools and gnupg. Use command RPM like the following to uninstall them. Command to uninstall software is: [root@deep]# rpm -e softwarenames [root@deep]# rpm -e pump mt-st eject bc mailcap quota apmd kernel-pcmcia-cs linuxconf getty_ps setconsole isapnptools setserial XFree86-video-card kudzu raidtools gnupg [root@deep]# rm -f /etc/conf.linuxconf-installed (this is a configuration file related to Linuxconf that must be removed manually). hdparm is needed by IDE disk but not SCSI disk. If you are an IDE disk you must keep this program (hdparm) and if you don’t have an IDE disk you can remove it from your system. Program sendmail, procmail and mailx are needed if you wan to configure your server as mail server. If your are not intend to use your new server as mail server you can uninstall them for security reasons. [root@deep]# rpm -e sendmail procmail mailx Pump DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and BOOTP (Boot Protocol) are protocols which allow individual devices on an IP network to get their own network configuration information (IP address, subnetmask, broadcast address, etc.) from network servers. [Unnecessary] The mt-st package contains the mt and st tape drive management programs. Mt (for magnetic tape drives) and st (for SCSI tape devices) can control rewinding, ejecting, skipping files and blocks and more. [Unnecessary] The eject program allows the user to eject removable media (typically CD-ROMs, floppy disks or Iomega Jaz or Zip disks) using software control. [Unnecessary] The bc package includes bc and dc. Bc is an arbitrary precision numeric processing arithmetic language. Dc is an interactive arbitrary precision stack based calculator, which can be used as a text mode calculator. [Unnecessary]
