I do not believe Allen's statement is completely correct. I cut my Unix teeth on Irix and early Linux but have been away from SysV for a few years. So the /etc/init.d/ directory (isn't it /etc/rc.d/ ??) is where you put links to startup and shutdown scripts (some launch daemons) but is not a listing of the running daemons. "ps -aux" will result in a list of everything running on FreeBSD. Think its "ps -ef" on Linux (varied on flavor of Linux back when I got tired of Linux) and know its "ps -ef" on Irix. But then again "top" is a pretty good quick look at what is running. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
