View 13 Replies View RelatedChkconfig is a utility to update and query runlevel information for system services. Chkconfig manipulates the numerous symbolic links in /etc/init.d/, to relieve system administrators of some of the drudgery of manually editing the symbolic links.
In Debian, there are several tools with similar functionality, but users coming from other Linux distributions will find the tools in this package more familiar.
Go to Terminal and open it and type the command "chkconfig' press enter. code...
after installing just type "chkconfig"
you can see list of service which one is off or on in your system code...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for some definitive instruction on the proper way to enable/disable (not to simply start/stop or add/remove packages) services/daemons under Debian 6. Google results are all over the map and, surprisingly, the Debian wiki has no abstract on services.It seems like such a common task
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm running debian unstable and since there was the switch to dependency based boot I can no longer control my boot services.I used to suppress the services that I use rarely during boot with: sudo update-rc.d -f myservice remove This arranged the links in /etc/rc?.d and everything worked.
Now this command only says: update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing.This seems to work until I upgrade the service to a new version and it is enabled again.Do you have any idea of how to disable boot services permanently with the new system?
I need to disable acpi services in order to get fglrx working on my toshiba satelite a300.
I've already tried this:Quote:
sudo aticonfig --initial -f
sudo aticonfig --acpi-services=off
But the acpi services still loaded when i booted the computer. How can i really turn them off?
I recently discovered upstart is launching sshd on my machine even though I disabled it with `sudo update-rc.d -f ssh remove`. I tried to find a way to prevent upstart from launching ssh by default, but the best I can think of is removing /etc/init/ssh.conf (I just uninstalled openssh-server).I'd like to disable it without doing this, though. This would make it easier to enable sshd when I need it

My server is dedicated only for squid proxy server.I want to know how that when my server boot only the relevant services should start which may helpful for squid.

Kindly guide me which command I should use and which services may I disable for smooth functioning of my squid
View 1 Replies View RelatedUntil Karmic Koala I could enable/disable services at startup (such as ssh or mysql) by issuing a update-rc.d -f someservice remove. On reboot, it would no longer run, and I could re-enable if necessary by, for example, running a update-rc.d someservice default.
However, it seems that now in Lucid Lynx this no longer works. For example, if I do a nmap localhost I can see that the ports for the respective services are open, therefore I assume they are likely running (which an attempted access confirms). For example, if I do a /etc/init.d/ssh stop, the ssh service is respawned. I've found that service ssh stop or initctl stop ssh effectively stops the service (i.e. it is no longer "respawned" if "killed"). But so far I haven't found documentation that conclusively indicates how to disable the service start on (re)boot.
So I ask you, what is now the currently "canonical" or "standard" way to enable/disable these services (particularly ones such as ssh or mysql) from starting on boot on Ubuntu? I'd like to avoid having to remove the respective packages if possible (as some posts suggest), since in some occasions I'm interested in manually running those services -- therefore, having to install/uninstall packages is impractical.
With the advent of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx LTS People are migrating servers to the latest LTS. One fundamental thing that has changed is the move to Upstart. In the old days to stop multidaemon service such as Samba, one would simply type /etc/init.d/samba stop and to disable it from starting on boot one would simply type update-rcd samba disable.
Now its the year 2010 and in 10.04 it seems on has to edit a bunch of files, etc. Is there not an easy tool to correctly and properly disable services on startup in 10.04 consistently? in Redhat/Mandrake 10 years ago it was simply
Code:
service smb off
In Ubuntu 10.04 its
1) edit /etc/init/smbd.conf and modify the line that says
Code:
stop on runlevel [!2345]
and change it to
[Code]...
And one has to remember all these changes when the get ready to enable the samba service in the future? This can't be right.I know I must be missing something here. or maybe overlooked something in the upstart documentation.Which seems quite sparse by the way. So the question remains. How does one simply disable a multidaemon service starting on boot such as samba. Any tool to do this ? Is the above the correct method recommended by Canonical to disable services? and enable them?

To check for the different types of services/ports, we just replace the [service] in check_[service] with the name of the port? I only know of check_http, check_ssh, check_ftp etc. Some ports like Finger, snmp etc, all these we also write it as 'check_finger', 'check_snmp'? 2) And, if that is the case, do we have to install additional plugins to monitor the ports defined earlier? 3) Lastly, if i want to monitor finger,snmp in windows server, would i need to download any software?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have our web site hosted by Go daddy and they provide us with the mail service as well. But there are a lot of constraints with the mail service with regards to the number of mail boxes, size per box, relays per user and so on.To avoid this, we are looking at other options. One is to have our own mail server but it will require a lot of infrastructure and expertise. But Amazon web services looks nice. They have infrastructure needed and all. One thing on my mind is the reverse look up of the mail servers. They wont be associated with the domain as both would be on different hostings. I am open to both windows exchange server as well as Linux server. Has anyone done this before or has any idea about it? I have gone through some of the threads in their forum and there are a lot of mixed views about it.And main concern everyone views is the reverse lookup. This could lead to all the mails sent from my server tagged as spam at the recipient end.I could not make out in which forum to write and hence in newbie. If this is enough about networking or server please move it.
