How to add service to run at boot on slackware linux?












0














I am trying a Slackware 14.2. I can start sshd by /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 sshd start but my question is how to add service to run at boot on slackware linux? Basically how to permanently add services to system on Slackware Linux and also check that service status. So far I am able to achieve the above using this link,



$ sudo nano /etc/rc.d/rc.M


and adding these lines



# Start the sshd server
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd ]; then
. /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd
fi


and it did work and ssh server started automatically after boot as I was able to ssh to that system but how to check that service status within the system other than ps aux | grep ssh or netstat -lntp | grep ssh or using tools like lsof? What I meant is some thing usual way like sudo service sshd status or sudo systemctl status sshd .

Any services or daemons that use the network should be started from
[/etc/rc.d/rc.inet2]. Most of the rc scripts in charge of starting daemons like inetd, sshd, bind, nfs, etc get called from rc.inet2. - Source http://www.slackware.com/config/network.php
