RE: How do I start | stop a daemon under debian

["Jason Holland" <jphollan@earthlink.net>]

adrian,

daemons are located in /etc/init.d

to start lpd for example

# /etc/init.d/lpd start

to stop

# /etc/init.d/lpd stop

to control which runlevel a daemon is stopped/started automatically, use the
command update-rc.d.  as an example:

# update-rc.d -f lpd add

hope this helps you out!
