How to Start Daemons?

[Quantum]

New to F; have run Debian for 14 years.

Just installed Shorewall, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to run it on boot. Every Debian daemon package would install an rc start script in init.d.

So how is this done in Fed?

I aint an expert, but does this help ?

Thanks, but doesn't seem to have to do with the rc start system.

This post says its possible to run rc scrpits in fed 16. But looks like it will be depricated and systemd will do the stuff.

The init system used in Fedora 15 and later is systemd, which is very different to the init.d you're used to.

For starting/enabling services:

"systemctl enable shorewall.service"

Make sure STARTUP_ENABLED=Yes in shorewall.conf.
Also, you'll want to make sure iptables.service and ip6tables.service are disabled.

Looking at the files included in the shorewall-4.5.4-1.fc16.noarch.rpm package on koji, I see /lib/systemd/system/shorewall.service. In that case you would start the shorewall service at boot with:

# systemctl enable shorewall.service

Or do an immediate start with:

# systemctl start shorewall.service

Beginning with F15, most services have been converted to the systemd system, with only had small handful of services running under the old SysVInit system.

Whoah. Never heard of that. Ty.

Also, why doesn't Gnome remember any of my window sizes? Why doesn't it remember my sessions, opening the same windows I had before?
