Disabling services from even starting.
I need to lower the resources need by sme server as much as possible.
Although i have specific needs, for others, i am sure their needs would probably vary from mine.
Not being an expert, i need expert advice on how to keep certain services from running.
I used the "mv" command to move links from the /etc/rc.d/rc7.d directory to newly created directory /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/disable. That did not seem to work for me.
It would be great if there was a stop shopping to finding the answers on how to start, stop, or remove services that come in the default configuration of the current SME Server.
For me, I need to lower the memory and cpu load used by SME Server to have it run VMware server for 5 concurrent virtual machines, but that is just me.
I know that some services have a dependency on other services.
Could we get a listing of the how to disable services.
Thanks in advance.
I would think the listing would also be need to include how to restore links in the /etc/rc.d/rc7.d of the various services that would be removed if one wanted to restore those services.
Does a update also restore those default SME services? If so, would I need a special cron job to remove those services I want to keep removed.
I will probably try to use SME version 8 for my purposes after some more testing, if i can get the os loaded on some new computers with newer hardware. But I am only asking for how to of removing services in the current version, which is 7.5.1.
