Bug 784158

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #784139 +++

Description of problem:

rhn-satellite does not offer a way to disable some services, like taskomatic when setting Redundant Satellites with Stand-Alone DB

According with documentation available at RHN docs [1], taskomatic must be disabled into redundant environments. 

[1] - http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5.4/html-single/Installation_Guide/index.html#sect-Installation_Guide-Maintenance-Establishing_Redundant_Satellites_with_Stand_Alone_DB

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHN Satellite 5.4.1 

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. restart rhn-satellite  # rhn-satellite restart

  
Actual results:

 # rhn-satellite restart all services


Expected results:

  rhn-satellite should read a config file to determine which service will be started

  Hello team, 

 Reading the code it seems that rhn-satellite script already have the capability to ignore some services, look below: 


151 OPTS=$(getopt --longoptions=exclude:,level: -n ${0##*/} -- e:l: "$@")
152 
153 if [ $? != 0 ] ; then echo "Terminating..." >&2 ; exit 1 ; fi
154 
155 eval set -- "$OPTS"
156 
157 while true ; do
158     case "$1" in
159         -e|--exclude)
160             EXCLUDE=$2
161             shift
162             # the space in "$SERVICE " is intentional, don't remove it.
163             SERVICES=$(while read -d " " service ; do echo ${service/$EXCLUDE}; done <<<"$SERVICES ")
164             ;;
165         -l|--level)
166             LEVEL="--level $2"
167             shift
168             ;;
169         --)
170             shift
171             break
172             ;;
173         *)
174             echo "Internal error!" >&2
175             exit 1
176             ;;
177     esac
178     shift
179 done

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

  We can use this to create a tunable flag to automate the service
