In a perfect world, yes ;)

Of course sometimes people are too lazy and like to listen to a story
teller, reading the manuals for them, like in a class room. Sometimes they
have to be reminded that they can read their own and that it makes not
much sense to read the stuff to someone.

On the other side there are complex issues where the good manuals are just
one part and some kind of a teacher with a profound knowledge is needed to
understand the backgrounds and the whole case at all.

But that wasn't the case here. The commands "chkconfig" (with a good man
page) and "service" are really trivial.
