Not really. The hint is in the name (check config). You're checking or
changing a *configuration*. If you want to do something else, like
start and stop the service it configures, that's something *else*.
You *might* *also* want to look into the "service" command.
e.g. service httpd start
As expected the NetworManager is in the kernel after the boot. The
chkconfig filename on is a "works every time" device. For some reason if
you do it to the actual file in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ it no longer works. I
tried ./filename start and that turns it on now but only once.
Now to take it out of this computer.
