netstat and sort
johnny bobby bee Sevaral answers: first, as Michael pointed out, for the usage of netstat you gave, you don't need this: the -t: -n +3 or -t: -g +3 will work for that. This...

Gentoo's init scripts are neither SysV nor BSD, but something borrowing from both. There's a master script calledsbin-rc . etc-inittab invokes "-sbin-rc sysinit" followed by "-sbin-rc boot" followed by "-sbin-rc runlevel".

Like SysV, there are multiple runlevels. Unlike SysV, you can define as many runlevels as you like withinetc-runlevels. Like SysV, directories underetc-runlevelsare full of symlinks to scripts inetc-init.dthat actually do things. Unlike SysV, these symlinks are not named K??script and S??script ; thesbin-rc script manages to figure out which scripts need to be started first with dependency information inside eachetc-init.dscript.

In practice, most stuff is dumped in "default" with "rc-update add $FOO default", since default is where the machine spends 99% of its time.

Init scripts are important, but you won't really be tweaking them that much. Cramming for a test? Yeah, spend some time on 'em. Putting together skills that'll actually help you as a sysadmin in the field? Learn emacs or vim and learn the one you like *well*. Also read for a level of skill to aspire to :-) .
