Hi, I have my httpd process that starts in runlevel3 with the following info

the filename is /etc/rc.3.d/K15httpd

However I installed an antivirus that uses a tomcat process that *must* be started prior to apache. the antivirus has the filename /etc/rc3.d/S99ISproxy

How can I make the httpd start *after* the S99ISproxy process?

Thanks,

Do a "man chkconfig" and read through it. It will explain how to do this. The summary information is that you're going to want to modify the line:

# chkconfig: - 99 ??

in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ISproxy file to change the 99 to a number lower than 85 (so it starts before httpd). You can then:

chkconfig ISproxy off chkconfig ISproxy on

to set up the symbolic links.

the file /etc/rc3.d/S99ISproxy is actually a symlink that is created by chkconfig which points to /etc/init.d/ISproxy

the number 85 and 15 represent the order number which the script is to be run at start up time and shutdown time.

after running "chkconfig httpd on"

you will find a symlinks /etc/rc3.d/S85httpd -> /etc/init.d/httpd /etc/rc6.d/K15httpd -> /etc/init.d/httpd

chkconfig reads the startup script named httpd and finds the line which starts with "# chkconfig:" and then creates the symlinks in /etc/rc3.d and /etc/rc4.d based on the numbers. The symlinks in the rc3.d directory are executed in order.

You can edit the numbers at the top of the init script

In your case you would either change your anti virus startup script to start before httpd, or modify your httpd startup script. I would modify the anti-virus startup script so that it had

< snip /etc/init.d/ISproxy > # chkconfig: - 84 16 < /snip >
