Ubuntu :: Stop VSFTPD Daemon From Loading At Boot?
Jun 9, 2010
I installed VSFTPD via: sudo gedit /etc/vsftpd.conf
I can start/stop using the following:
sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd start
sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd stop
By default, the daemon loads at boot but I don't want/need it to. I executed the following command thinking it would stop it from loading at boot code...
Can anyone tell me how to stop the VSFTPD daemon from loading at boot?
I have installed vsftpd and would like it to be completely accessible to the world, but each time I test connect it propts for username / password. config:
I am tring to stop avahi from starting and running at all.I use kill PID and killall avahi-daemon and it will not go away, it comes back with a new PID. Does anyone know a way of stopping it?
In my system I installed Oracle enterprise linux.while installing I installed Mysql also.
I checked the version which is 5.0.15
After my installation,I am installing Bugzilla 4.0.at that time it's showing below =========================================================== Checking for DBD-mysql (v4.00) found v3.0007
For MySQL, Bugzilla requires that perl's DBD::mysql 4.00 or later be installed. To install this module, run the following command (as root):
/usr/bin/perl install-module.pl DBD::mysql =========================================================== I ran below command #/usr/bin/perl install-module.pl DBD::mysql
I would like to be able to simply run a shortcut file or batch file in a windows os to start or stop my transmission-daemon.I was thinking about using putty to auto login and execute a file using the -m switch. A problem I am running into is that /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stoprequires the use of sudo.That would require entering a password which would be automated and insecure or would require manually typing int he password.
I've just installed subversion.I need to create a script /etc/init.d/svnserve that will start at boot time.I want to use start-stop-daemon --start so I can track my process and eventually kill it using start-stop-daemon --stop.My problem is that I can't get it to work and the documentation shows no exemple.
I've replaced $DAEMON by the whole line: svnserve -d -R -r $REPO_ROOT and got -d is not an option.I'm not quite sure what to do at that point. If someone has some experience with start-stop-daemon it would be great.
I have Windows XP and Linux Mint installed on my laptop.I'd like more than a few seconds to choose which OS I want to run.How do I fix this? Please explain it as if talking to a 6 year old as I'm new to Linux.
I am running 11.04 and would like to stop the loading of the parport and lp modules. I put entries in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file and ran update-initramfs -u. After a reboot lsmod shows both modules as being loaded.
Today i downloded latest ubuntu 10.4.1 and installed from windows environment (so you know am new with ubuntu) after installing i tried updating ubuntu, including some kernel updates, but after updating ubuntu not loading up, it just show the loading page that all nothing change i tried recovery mode but i dint understood anything it show some command prompt. i had used 10.4.0 before.
I've recently installed Centos 5.3. Each time the pc starts KDE starts automaticaly, how can I remove that? I dont want to uninstall KDE, I just want to begin in the konsole and start KDE only if I need it.
Does anyone know how to stop ubuntu (when loading) looking for wifi signal's in the 5000000 khz range? I have a problem with other devices around my house that operate on this range of frequencies and it effects ubuntu while its booting, to the extent that it won�t load. My wireless router is on the 2000000 khz range therefore I only really need Ubuntu to look for devices on this range of frequencies. If anyone know a way to prevent Ubuntu looking on the 5000000 khz range by editing something I would be very greatful to know how to do this.
As at the moment I am having to boot about 5 times until it eventually decided to load. Sometimes the only way I can get in, is by going into recovery mode, dropping to terminal and typing in: "sudo gdm" and eventually I get it. Which is a right pain. Please see my previous post outlining my problem: [URL]
I have the following code in bash script: Code: #!/bin/bash COUNT=1 # bash until loop until [$COUNT -gt 2]; do pq A$COUNT [Pemptus].pq & let COUNT=COUNT+1 done
I did this because I'm that much of a Progress Quest geek that I wanted to have a huge group on the online server, so I decided to make a script that would open all the files for me rather than having me do it manually. I created some characters with the boring name of A1, A2, etc. When I ran the above script, it went into a continuous loop and I had to halt it, then run sudo killall pq.exe to eliminate the 500 or so Progress Quest windows that popped open. Anyway, what is wrong with my script that I can't seem to get it to stop loading files at an arbitrary number? I want to get this part finished before I make any more boring named characters.
I'm running ubuntu 11.04 on two computers, and I had two ftp-servers running fine and well. But then, after a computer reboot, I'm not able to boot the servers anymore.
Code: root@kjellern-lima:~# service vsftpd start vsftpd start/running, process 2552
It says it starts running, but if I try to connect to it, or run:
Code: root@kjellern-lima:~# netstat -a | grep ftp nothing happens
I am having some trouble making the dropbox daemon start at boot. I followed these instructions -> [URL], which are basically a replica of the original instructions from the Dropbox Wiki [URL]. The installation went fine, except that the machine still cannot start the daemon at boot. I tried to modify the init.d script a bit (see the attachment), but it still wont work (I am not sure if my changes made any significant difference, though). The daemon will only start if I invoke it manually after login with the command:
Code:
[user@machine:~]$ service dropbox start
Which executes the daemon just fine. I also tried adding this line of code to crontab:
Code:
@reboot /etc/init.d/dropbox start
This command starts the daemon if I check with the command "service dropbox status", but if I execute the official dropbox CLI command:
Code:
~/bin/dropbox.py status
it says that Dropbox isn't running and I still have to execute it manually.
P.s.: The machine runs Ubuntu Server 10.04, with all the latest system patches and updates.
I was trying to get a daemon to load on boot, I stupidly added it to rc.local and it just hangs. I would love to put in a live CD and edit out the line but the volume is encrypted and I cannot get it to mount.
Is there a way I can cancel the daemon from loading or get to the grub menu (not readily visible since I am single boot) and then boot into a console?
why does hal daemon hangs? but if i try the interactive booting and disable the hal upon starting,it will boot up. so maybe i can just disable this every time it boots, how can i do this?
I installed Centos 5.5 yesterday and discovered that the hal daemon was failing to start on boot.
The messages showed that the hal daemon was hanging because nss_ldap could not connect to the ldap server. It eventually failed and the system came up multiuser without it.
When I started looking into the problem I discovered that hald was being started quite early in the boot process. It's sequence number was 26 (if I remember correctly). This was even before nscd.
If I chkconfiged it off and booted, I could start it successfully once the system was up.
I changed the sequence number to 98 and bring it up relatively close to the end of the boot process.
This works and it starts normally.
Is starting it as early as 26 in the boot process done for a reason? It seems to me that it should definitely not be started before nscd. Does it matter that I moved it to the end of the boot process?
What's the best way to register a daemon to start up at boot time in lucid? I have tried registering the following script using "sudo update-rc.d"
Code:
This is supposed to get the daemon for opentftp started, but it does nothing, although I can see the results of the "echo 'Server opentftpd started' " in the boot log in /var/log .Any thoughts or general help on what the best way to accomplish such a task is?
I am very pleased with a new Squeeze desktop that I built. I am use to using BSD style init scripts (Slackware, OpenBSD, Arch) and am trying to tweak my system not to start vsftpd at boot. I use vsftpd occasionally to move large files between computers on my LAN. My inittab shows run level 2 as default.
I'm having trouble booting after a recent bunch of updates (haven't been able to boot F12 from hard disk for a couple of days). The boot process gets as far as "NetworkManager daemon [OK]", then just stops. I get this for all 3 kernels that I can choose from the grub menu (2.6.32.16-141, 2.6.32.14-127, 2.6.32.12-115)Mounting the hard drive with a liveUSB, a quick inspection of /var/log/messages reveals that things go smoothly until: etc. until I hit the power button.I ought to mention that I wireless card that requires the Realtek RTL8192SE driver, which requires
I am running a recently built Debian 'Lenny' system 5.0.4.I used the gui install and asked for desktop/file server/ I created a raid 1 systemsing two similar drives.Finally I set up some samba shares to use from my (wife's) windows PC. I wanted to use PC names rather than IP adresses to access the shares so activated wins.My Debian system, called arcturus, did not appear in windows network places. After much trial and error and googling found that the nmbd service had stopped.'/etc/init.d/samba restart' reported nmbd not present, stopped smbd and then restarted both. My networking then all came to life.There is a Ubuntu forum discussion around this subject and the consensus seems that the samba daemons are starting before the network is properly established. I have installed a work-around by putting the restart line in /etc/rc.local.But I'm concerned that I have some kind of configuration error.The following is a section of my log.nmbd after setting logging to level 3:-

If same daemon i m running from terminal then its working properly and also system() function is getting success with return value 0 and GUI is getting popped up.
