The final step of Linux boot process is init process, which starts a system process defined in /etc/ initab file. init config file then directs the init process and the shell script /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit runs. Linux distros put some startup scripts in rc subdirectories, particularly at /etc/rc.d to take control of the services required to be started at boot. But sometimes, you find errors while this process and your system fails to boot. In such situations, you might need to reformat and reinstal...

server hosting your site, so it comes naturally to pay special
attention when choosing one over another. But what are really
the options you have?
Mainly you can choose between web hosting based on Windows,
Linux or Unix operating systems. A brief description and
analysis of the different systems will narrow the li...

The Basics of Linux & Windows :
Linux (and its close relation Unix) and Windows 2000 (and its
close cousin Windows NT) are types of software (known as
operating systems) that web servers use to do the kind of things
that web servers do. You do not need to know any real detail of
either to make a decision as to which you need but here a few
guidelines.

Linux supports various file systems like Ext2, Ext3 and ReiserFS. The latter two file systems support file system journaling, hence are less prone to file system corruption (as compared to Ext2) due to unexpected shutdown. Besides, unexpected system shutdown, other causes that could corrupt these file systems are improper use of terminal commands, insufficient disk resources, user errors etc. While such situations, you cannot access your stored data and to restore it, you should use your recent ...

Linux has a powerful task scheduler called Cron. Cron will allow
you to run commands automatically at times specified by you.
Cron is similar to the task scheduler you find in Windows. To
keep track of the schedules and tasks it has to run, Cron
requires a file called Crontab (CRON TABle). All the Cron
schedules and tasks should be stored in this table. The Crontab
files cannot be directly edited. You can add or delete entries
in the crontab file using the crontab command.
What's Cron and Cronta...

Linux systems today generally use eight runlevels. Runlevels
define what services or processes should be running on the
system. The init process can run the system in one of eight
runlevels. The system runs only one of the eight runlevels at a
time. The main runlevels are from 0 ' 6. Here's what each
runlevel is for
Runlevel 0: Halt System - To shutdown the system Runlevel 1:
Single user mode Runlevel 2: Basic multi user mode without NFS
Runlevel 3: Full multi user mode (text based) Runlevel 4: ...
