+Welcome to the &kde; System V Init Editor, commonly known (and hereafter
+referenced) as &ksysv;. This section introduces a few concepts and explains what
+you can do with &ksysv;.

+<title>A Brief Description of System V Init</title>
+
+<para>
+The following explanation is <quote>borrowed</quote> from
+<application>tksysv</application> (an inspiration for &ksysv;):
+</para>
+
+<para>
+System V init is fast becoming the standard in the &Linux; world to
+control the startup of software at boot time. This is because it is
+arguably easier to use and more powerful and flexible than the
+traditional <acronym>BSD</acronym> init.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+I won't go into the history here (mainly because I don't know it :-).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The init binary is located in <filename class="directory">/sbin</filename> and
+not <filename class="directory">/etc</filename>. This is important as one might
+try and upgrade a machine to System V init without re-installing and
+reformatting. The &Linux; kernel looks in <filename
+class="directory">/etc</filename> for its init first, so you must make sure and
+delete your old init from there if any.
+</para>
+
+<para>SysV init also differs from <acronym>BSD</acronym> init in that
+the config files are in a subfolder of <filename
+class="directory">/etc</filename> instead of residing directly in
+<filename class="directory">/etc</filename>. This folder is called
+<filename class="directory">rc.d</filename>. In there you will find
+<filename>rc.sysinit</filename> and the following folders:
+</para>

+<itemizedlist>

+<filename class="directory">rc6.d</filename>
+</para>
+</listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>
+<filename class="directory">init.d</filename> contains a bunch of
+scripts. Basically, you need one script for each service you may need to
+start at boot time or when entering another runlevel. Services include
+things like networking, <acronym>NFS</acronym>, &Sendmail;, httpd,&etc;
+Services do not include things like <command>setserial</command> that
+must only be run once and then exited. Things like that should go in
+the file <filename>rc.local</filename>.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<filename>rc.local</filename> should be in <filename
+class="directory">/etc/rc.d</filename> if you want one. Most systems
+include one even though it doesn't do much. You can also include an
+<filename>rc.serial</filename> in <filename
+class="directory">/etc/rc.d</filename> if you need to do serial port
+specific things at boot time.
+</para>
+
+<para>The chain of events is as follows: </para>
+
+<orderedlist>
+<listitem>
+<para>
+The kernel looks in several places for init and runs the first one it
+finds.

+<listitem>
+<para>
+init runs all the scripts for the default runlevel
+</para>
+</listitem>
+</orderedlist>
+
+
+<para>
+The default runlevel is decided in
+<filename>/etc/inittab</filename>. You should have a line close to the
+top like:
+</para>
+
+<screen>id:3:initdefault:</screen>
+
+<para>
+From this, you'd look in the second column and see that the default
+runlevel is 3, as should be the case for most systems. If you want to
+change it, you can edit <filename>/etc/inittab</filename> by hand and
+change the 3. Be very careful when you are messing with the inittab. If
+you do mess up, you can get in to fix it by rebooting and doing:
+</para>
+
+<screen><computeroutput>LILO boot:</computeroutput> <userinput>linux single</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>
+This <emphasis>should</emphasis> allow you to boot into single user mode
+so you can fix it. </para>
+
+<para>
+Now, how does it run all the right scripts? If you do an
+<userinput><command>ls</command> <option>-l</option></userinput> on
+<filename class="directory">rc3.d</filename>, you might see something
+like:
+</para>
+
+
+<screen>lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 13:11 S10network -&gt; ../init.d/network
+lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 13:11 S30syslog -&gt; ../init.d/syslog
+lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 13:32 S40cron -&gt; ../init.d/cron
+lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 13:11 S50inet -&gt; ../init.d/inet
+lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 13:11 S60nfs -&gt; ../init.d/nfs
+lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 13:11 S70nfsfs -&gt; ../init.d/nfsfs
+lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 13:11 S75keytable -&gt; ../init.d/keytable
+lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 13:11 S80sendmail -&gt; ../init.d/sendmail.init
+lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 13:11 S90lpd -&gt; ../init.d/lpd.init
+lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 13:11 S99local -&gt; ../rc.local</screen>
+
+<para>
+What you'll notice is that there are no real files in the folder.
+Everything there is a link to one of the scripts in the <filename
+class="directory">init.d</filename> folder.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The links also have an <literal>S</literal> and a number at the
+beginning. The <literal>S</literal> means to start this particular
+script and a <literal>K</literal> would mean to stop it. The number is
+just there for ordering purposes. Init will start all the services based
+on the order they appear. You can duplicate numbers, but it will only
+confuse you somewhat. You just need to use a two digit number only,
+along with an upper case <literal>S</literal> or <literal>K</literal> to
+start or stop the services you need to.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+How does it start and stop services? Simple. Each of the scripts is
+written to accept an argument which can be <option>start</option> and
+<option>stop</option>. You can execute those scripts by hand in fact
+with a command like:
+</para>
+
+<screen><userinput><command>/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd.init</command> <option>stop</option></userinput></screen>
+
+<para>
+To stop the httpd server. Init just reads the name and if it has a
+<literal>K</literal>, it calls the script with the <option>stop</option>
+argument. If it has an <option>S</option> it calls the script with a
+<option>start</option> argument. </para>

+Some people want an easy way to setup machines to be multi-purpose. I

+
+<para>
+Using &ksysv; with a mouse or other pointing device is easy: just drag
+an entry from the <guilabel> Available Services</guilabel> area onto one
+of the six runlevels to start (or resp. stop) it in that runlevel.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You can also move scripts between runlevels, or change the position in a
+given runlevel, by dragging it around. Doing so removes the entry from
+its original runlevel (or position). This doesn't happen when you drag
+an entry from the <guilabel>Available Services</guilabel> area.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+Entries are moved when you drag them to a new area. To copy a service to
+a different runlevel, you have to select <guimenuitem>Copy</guimenuitem>
+from the <guimenu>Edit</guimenu> or context menu and
+<guimenuitem>Paste</guimenuitem> it in the target runlevel.
+</para>
+</note>
+
+<para>
+The <quote>sorting number</quote> of an entry sometimes cannot be
+calculated. In such a case you have to edit the sorting numbers of
+surrounding entries before re-trying to insert the service.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+Sorting numbers can range from 00 to 99, but no higher.
+</para>

+You can delete entries by dragging them onto the <guiicon>Trash
+Can</guiicon> area (symbolized by an icon depicting a garbage bin).

+I played around with the default runlevel, and now my machine reboots

+<answer>
+<para>
+Enter <userinput>linux single</userinput> at the
+<acronym>LILO</acronym> prompt, and press <keycap>Enter</keycap> to
+boot into single user mode. Edit the file
+<filename>/etc/inittab</filename> and change to the default runlevel
+to something sane. <literal>3</literal> should normally be safe.

+<question>
+<para>
+I scheduled some services to be run in runlevel X using &ksysv;, so why
+aren't they working?
+</para>
+</question>
+
+<answer>
+<para>
+If you're using SuSE or Delix (DLD) distributions, you also have to edit
+a distribution specific file in <filename
+class="directory">/etc</filename>. Please have a look at the manual of
+your distribution for details.
+</para>
+<para>
+<note>
+<para>
+The approach to starting services used by the above mentioned
+distributions makes configuration of services easy for the proprietary
+configuration tools these distributions provide, but it is unfortunately
+non-standard. The &ksysv; authors plan to write a generic extension for
+this approach some time in the future, but don't hold your breath.
+</para>
+</note>
+</para>
+<para>
+If you're using a different distribution, please check you have all the
+config files needed by the service, and whether they are in the correct
+locations. Some daemons for example <application>Apache</application>,
+(<acronym>aka</acronym> <command>httpd</command>) just die silently if
+their configuration files are missing or misconfigured.
