man update-rc.d
1. Run grep to see what your default runlevel is:
grep initdefault /etc/inittab
It should say:
id:2:initdefault:
The number after 'id' refers to your default runlevel. Lets assume
you are running runlevel 2 for this exercise.
2. Use update-rc.d to maintain your runlevel configuration. Lets say you
have a service called Samba you want removed from starting up, look in
/etc/rc2.d:
ls /etc/rc2.d/
You see the following symlink there:
S20samba
Break down the filename: S means start, 20 is the start order, and
samba is the actual name of the service. Use update-rc.d to remove
the service by name:
update-rc.d -f samba remove
3. OOps, i actually want samba! Then run:
update-rc.d samba defaults
There you have it, quick and dirty service maintenance.
