SuSEconfig

From openSUSE

SuSEconfig configures the system according to the variables that are set in the various "/etc/sysconfig/" files.

Description

SuSEconfig acts as a back end for YaST2

• SuSEconfig configures the system according to the variables that are set in the various "/etc/sysconfig/" files.
• SuSEconfig acts as a backend for YaST2 and activates the configuration changes made by YaST2.
• SuSEconfig is automatically executed by Yast whenever we install, upadte or remove any package from the system.
• But if a user installs any package via command line i.e by simple rpm command then it is highly essential to invoke it manually.

SuSEconfig must be run by the root user.
