There should be a script named /etc/init.d/*nut* and /etc/rc2.d/S*nut*. For example, for Samba, they are: /etc/init.d/samba /etc/rc2.d/S20samba To shutdown Samba, I'd run "/etc/init.d/samba stop", and to disable it from starting at boot, I'd # mv /etc/rc2.d/S20samba /etc/rc2.d/__S20samba Do something similar with the *nut* script and that will do what you want. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA Is "common sense" really valid? For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins are mud people. However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFBWnUS9HxQb37XmcRAo8iAJ49hTGocZcaI6uU6XPz7oNGhQAKLACgi0uK 4d1Ze3AhQ0OGB3YDcBMTy2w= =sqbf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
