| You can also do rc-update del netmount boot (netmount=example) to remove certain deamons from starting. Use with caution though. And do rc-status --all to see everything that you have and it's runlevel. |

It's used whenever editing what services start with the computer.

Type in rc-status --all at a console to see a list of currently installed services you could potentially add with rc-update.

I removed metalog and use syslog-ng instead, and I removed metalog from starting up using ''rc-update del metalog", but when I try adding syslog-ng i get:
| Code: |
rc-update add syslog-ng boot
* syslog-ng added to runlevel boot
* Caching service dependencies...
* Service 'metalog' already provide 'logger'!;
* Not adding service 'syslog-ng'...
* rc-update complete.
|
How do I get syslog-ng to replace metalog? |

That dosen't do anything unless, I suppose, you put add in front of rc-update? |

rc-update update your init scripts, it means when you execute rc-update you can choose whether you want to have scripts that are executed ny booting or not. It depends on what you are wanting to do. There are a lot of examples, when you need it, i.e.starting apache or mail services (postifx, etc) ...
Why do you ask a such thing? What don't you understand?

rc-update is used to add or delete any of the scripts in the /etc/init.d/ directory to any of the runlevels in the /etc/runlevels/ directory.
Judging from your code-snippet, you will need to check which runlevel 'metalog' is in, delete it, then add syslog-ng to the runlevel you want. | Code: | rc-update del metalog <runlevel>
rc-update add syslog-ng <runlevel> |
...replacing <runlevel> appropriately.
If you still get the error message about an existing logger, you might have to stop 'metalog' as well, by entering | Code: | | /etc/init.d/metalog stop |

Portage doesn't delete stuff in /etc, so you're looking for | Code: | | rm /etc/init.d/metalog |
