Topic: Services to shut down

[Jori]

Hi, I'm using E-smith for personal adsl routing (3 pcs) and Bitchx-logging for irc stats. I dont use the samba server, public http server, and email server.

How do I turn them off? Not just samba stop etc at the end of the rc.local file but just no loading at startup.

Thanks in advance.

What you will wnat to do is go to
http://www.e-smith.org/contrib/rpm-index/RPM-e-smith-service-control-1.1.0-01.src.html
and install this RPM. It puts a panel in the server manager for turning off services that you do not need. Works great.

All the services that start are listed in the /etc/init.d directory.   So using their names, issue the following command:

/sbin/e-smith/config setprop status disabled

A simple example would be

/sbin/e-smith/config setprop atalk status disabled

They will never start again.
Watch the screen after a reboot, you should see a disabled against every
service you disabled.

The service-manager is also great, but DOESN'T work properly under E-Smith v5.0
