I have a script that checks the redhat-release file to determine what security patch needs to be applied. Since there's a Red Hat 5 now, I need a redhat-release file from the various platforms (Desktop, Enteprise Workstation, and Enterprise Server) so I can build a proper search string. Also, it...

Fairly new to RedHat. Can someone tell me what the version that I am working on.
cat /etc/rehdat-release shows
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 Beta (Tikanga)
I would think that this is RedHat 5 update 4. I don't know how what Beta and (Tikanga) means. Is this truly beta code? (1 Reply)

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for the meaning of this expression, as I don't understand it quite clearly : $1^
What do you think it could be?
I thought either:
- match lines starting with argument 1 but it should be ^$1
- turn line around : word becomes drow
Thanks in advance for your... (4 Replies)

redhat-config-services
serviceconf(8) System Manager's Manual serviceconf(8)NAME
redhat-config-services - Service Configuration Utility
SYNTAX
redhat-config-services
DESCRIPTION
This is a graphical tool for enabling and disabling services (including xinetd services). Functionality to start, stop, and restart ser-
vices is also included.
OPTIONS
None
FILES
/usr/bin/redhat-config-services
/usr/share/serviceconf/*
EXAMPLES
To run this program simply type:
redhat-config-services
LIMITATIONS
This utility currently execs chkconfig --add/--del <servicename> when enabling and disabling services. This means that it does not have the
same default behaviour as ntsysv.
SEE ALSO chkconfig(8)ntsysv(8)BUGS
- Some services will not start or stop properly if started anywhere but the console (redhat-config-services will appear to hang in these
instances). This is not a bug in redhat-config-services, but in the individual services.
- Some services are incredibly hard to detect if they are running or not. Starting, stopping and restarting initscripts may give mixed
results (ie. may fail if you are stopping a service that's already stopped, etc). This will be fixed; until then it's a bug.
