| Cucumber Linux uses System V style symbolic links to control the starting of services at boot. These symbolic links are located in /etc/rc.d/rcx.d, where x is a single digit 0 through 6 indicating which runlevel corresponds to that directory. This is explained in more detail on the [[sysconfig:sysinit|system initialization page]]. | Cucumber Linux uses System V style symbolic links to control the starting of services at boot.

| - | While it is possible (and sometimes desirable) control which services start at boot by modifying the symbolic links directly, Cucumber Linux also provides a more user friendly interactive menu for controlling which services will start when the system boots. To access this menu, run the command ''pkgtools'' as root. Select setup from the main menu, and then select services from the System Setup Scripts menu (select it by scrolling to it and pressing the space bar, and then pressing enter to select Ok). | + | While it is possible (and sometimes desirable) control which services start at boot by modifying the symbolic links directly, Cucumber Linux also provides a more user friendly interactive menu for controlling which services will start when the system boots.

| It’s worth noting that in general, running more daemons makes your system less secure. For this reason, most services are disabled by default. It is recommended that you enable only the services you need and leave the rest disabled. When you do enable a service, it is also advised that you take time to research how to secure that service properly. | It’s worth noting that in general, running more daemons makes your system less secure.
