More on Linux Autostart services

It would appear that some distributions like to have some services only start on graphical login (init state 5?).

I found this to be problematic when using a headless/text only install.

Make sure to:
chkconfig --list serviceName

To verify which levels the service is set to run on. If it happens to only say "ON" at level 5, try:
chkconfig serviceName on
