Hi, To disable a service I can "insserv -r service", but the postinst of a service may just enable it again on update. How do tell the system that although I have the package X installed I do not, ever, want to have it started? * /etc/default/service is not always available * modifiying any script causes annoying warnings (ucf --three-way is still not being widely used and also is not without user interaction) I used to just rm /etc/rc2.d/*service, but I understand that's not how insserv works... The man page does not list a way to remove service from only one runlevel. Why I use this: * KDE forces me to install mysql-server which will by default start the system wide db (but uses a per user instance.) * I want to have postgres installed for my toy projects, but not started when I'm not hacking on it (to save boot time and memory.) cheers - -- vbi - -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (60, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages insserv depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries insserv recommends no packages.
