2.5.8. Setting the Service Boot Behavior


You can define the service behavior (for the tomcat and httpd service) at boot from the command line or with the Service Configuration graphical tool:
  • From the command line, issue the following command with the <SERVICE_NAME> replaced with the respective service name (tomcat6 or tomcat7, and httpd or httpd22)
    chkconfig <SERVICE_NAME> on
    For details see the chkconfig man page.
  • To use the Service Configuration tool, issue the command system-config-services and change the service setting in the displayed window.
