Enable/Disabling Services
Every service must be set to either be "On" (enabled) or "Off" (disabled) for every runlevel.
To manually enable a specific service use chkconfig. The following command turns crond daemon for both runlevel 3 *AND* 5.
# /sbin/chkconfig --level 35 crond on
The --level could be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or any combination of the
numbers. The on option can also be off. Running man chkconfig is useful.
