Topic: Shutting down services that i dont need

[Harris]

Hi,

How do i shut down services that i do not use, for example.. DNS, LDAP, IPv4Forwarding, Squid, Named. ATalk.

It can give me some free memory

Thanks a lot

I'd install the esmith-service-control-1.1.0-04.noarch.rpm and use that to manage the services through the server-manager. Uses a simple tick box to select whether service should be active/inactive. Sorry cant remember exactly where I found it but if you do a search I'm sure it'll turn up.

Or do it the e-smith way-

check out /home/e-smith/configuration

services are listed as XXX=service and are enabled or disabled (as you will see) - DON'T MODIFY THIS FILE - use it to get your service names correct for the next proceedure

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

You will need to reboot afterwards

esmith-service-control-1.1.0-04.noarch.rpm can be downloaded from

http://myezserver.com/downloads/mitel/contrib/e-smith-service-control/

BUT it doesnt work 100% with 5.5 but works well enough for me

Install = rpm -ivh name_of_rpm_with_version
update = rpm -Uvh name_of_rpm_with_version
remove = rpm -e name_of_rpm (without version)

check installed rpm name = rpm -q -a
