Service Auto Start

[Fastrohit]

Hello,
My problem is this:
The majority of automatic services do not start and I am forced to do it manually in services.msc (services such as topics, and services related to Internet and detect the network card etc ...)
How to solve this issue? Thank you

Here's the easiest way to make a service auto start or stop after reboot:

chkconfig servicename on to auto-start and chkconfig servicename off to stop auto-startup.

I think the problem may be that you try to write to the EventLog but the EventLog service it self is not started yet.

You have to make sure, your service is not started before the EventLog service started successfully. Thus you have to make your service dependent on the EventLog service.

If on linux then what distribution do you use? At least some(most?) include various utilities to make this easier than manually mucking around with symlinks in /etc/rc.d/* directories. It doesn't hurt to do that at least once though to help fully understand the structure and layout of how the average Linux machine does this.

On RedHat for instance though, there are graphical utilities to enable/disable "services", there is "ntsysv", there is chkconfig, etc...

# chkconfig snmpd --list
# chkconfig snmpd on
