The chkconfig command generates and breaks links between the directory /etc/rc.d/init.d/ and the appropriate run level directory: /etc/rc.d/rc[0-6].d/ to control boot process initiation and process shutdown.
chkconfig [--level ] on | off | reset > chkconfig --list chkconfig --list chkconfig --add chkconfig --del chkconfig --level 0123456 offExamples:
- chkconfig --level 345 httpd on - forces apache to be invoked for run levels 3, 4 and 5.
- chkconfig --add httpd - Start the web server daemon upon system boot.
- chkconfig --del sendmail - Do not start the sendmail daemon upon system boot.
- chkconfig --list - List all services and init levels.
- chkconfig --list | grep on - List all services to be started upon system boot.
- chkconfig wu-ftpd on - Turn on FTP service managed by xinetd.
- chkconfig ipop3 off - Turn off POP3 service managed by xinetd.

Assume the subversion has already been installed on your system. 1. Create Subversion Home folder #mkdir -p /home/svn 2. Create a generic repository format #mkdir -p /home/svn/default/trunk # mkdir /home/svn/default/branches # mkdir /home/svn/default/tags 3. Setup Blanket Access: If you wish to enable htaccess style password login to the subversion repository then use this system. This is the basic access control system, which can be extended to enable per directory access control as well. #mkdir /home/svn/access #touch /home/svn/access/users #htpasswd -mb /home/svn/access/users myname mypw 4 . Extending the Blanket Access control to enable Per-Directory Access control # touch /home/svn/access/control example content of control file: [/] admin = rw manager = r [/bigproject] manager = rw commiter = r [/bigproject/trunk] commiter = rw client = r [/bigproject/branches] client = r [/bigproject/trunk/manager_notes] client = commiter = 5. Build a project repository #mkdir /home/svn/repos # svnadmin create /home/svn/repos/myproject #svn import /home/svn/default file:///home/svn/repos/myproject -m "Initial Import" 6. check out the project to workspace cd ~/myworkspace svn checkout file:// home/svn/repos/myproject/trunk myproject 7. add files to myproject and do commit svn commit -m "import initial code " svn update
