Description

When a service is set to be enabled the provider/service/redhat.rb provider will run “/sbin/chkconfig $name on” which will only create the links for starting the service but will not for stopping it. The correct command is “/sbin/chkconfig —add $name”.

This is important for those services that require stopping cleanly before other services.

We should be running chkconfig —add $service then chkconfig on $service

Please look into removing /etc/rc.d/rc?.d/K*service as well when a service is disabled.
