[linux-audio-user] regarding services and cron jobs

[Dave Phillips]

Hi Steve:

  Thanks, that's exactly what I needed to know. I'm also putting 
together a troubleshooting guide for Linux audio users, and that's the 
kind of stuff I need for that work too.

  Here's from the chkconfig report:

[dlphilp at localhost dlphilp]$ chkconfig --list | grep 5:on

  While some of this report is cryptic to me, I wonder about some things 
like the apmd, isdn, pcmcia, portmap, and sendmail entries. Am I correct 
to assume I can do without them at any time, i.e., not only during 
recording ?

Best regards,
