Of course, you can always run: chkconfig --level 345 <service> off yes, I know... but using the service command will be a /lot/ more intuitive, (because I'm talking about a *service*, basically I'm saying: "I want to disable this *service*") note how I can stop, start, ask status, etc with the command service, why should I use another command for disabling it ? of course, this should not be a replace for chkconfig, because this command may permit more granularity (user-levels)... I'm an RHCX, I can certainly say many customers find the name of the 'chkconfig' tool and the 'service' command's inability to handle enabling / diabling services unintuitive. Closing bugs on older, no longer supported, releases. Apologies for any lack of response. Realistically, time spent on this is probably better spent on a better service framework (such as one using dependencies, etc.). |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98) Description of problem: it would be /really/ nice being able to do: # service xinetd disable instead of using ntsysv, when I want to disable the running of a service at boot time... very nice... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.# service xinetd disable Actual Results: Usage: /etc/init.d/xinetd {start|stop|status|restart|condrestart|reload} Expected Results: The service xinetd has been disabled (it will not run automatically at boot time) Additional info:
