|
|
1: Single User Mode
3: Multi User Mode (text only)
5: X Windows
Each service as appliccable to a runlevel is allocated there by chkconfig.
Therefore:
| Code: | | chkconfig --level 2345 cups off |
Cups will then not start up during all runlevels. (safest to leave 1 and 6 as they are)
These services are also safe to disable as they generally arent needed:
( moe know any others?)
atd
gpm
rawdevices
netfs
iptables
portmap
nfslock
xinetd
cups

Make sure you have root (look for the # sign at the prompt), and use the full path (sbin) like this:
| Code: |
[root@LUCI msi]# /sbin/chkconfig --level 345 cups off
|
To see whats running and when:
To see whats *on* and when
| Code: |
chkconfig --list |grep on
|
To turn cups back on
| Code: |
chkconfig --level 345 cups on
|

You also can stop it in runlevel 5 (graphical) by stoping it in the services (menu,systemsettings,serversettings,services) and saving the conf.

you might want to keep iptables.
and of course you need xinitd for alot of net stuff, so its best to leave that enabled.
What you can disable though:
chargen
chargen-udp
cups
cups-lpd
ipchains
lircd
lircmd
netfs
rsync
smb
sshd
swat
winbind
wine
Some you should KEEP:
xinitd
iptables
syslog
random
portmap
network
messagebus
