Every Redhat user asks about chkconfig. Having used Redhat myself I always needed to edit the init.d script, set the run level, save, run chkconfig to create the symlinks, then invoke the script when installing a new package. But on Debian none of that is needed. Not needing to run chkconfig has left many people stymied. How do you install the symlinks? You don't need to because by default they are installed automatically. Your question is different because you are asking how do you prevent the service from running. In your case you apparently installed something and then wanted to turn it off. Instead of removing the symlinks I would just remove the package. If you don't want it to run then why have it around? What package did you install that you now don't want to run? Just remove it. apt-get remove package I have asked this question many times and so far no one has ever supplied an answer. Why remove the symlinks instead of just removing the package? Bob
