Not quite the full picture, not in general, even if that was a specific example of some service that will not quite do what you expect. Disabling means setting it so it's not started up (by your preferences). Something else could start a disabled service, such as some other service that wants/needs it. Rebooting *may* but doesn't necessarily mean it will. > If you want to permanently disable the service, you must mask it. That's certainly true. Enabled - I want this to be started (usually after booting) Disabled - I don't want this to be started by default Masked - I really don't want this to be started, and obey me, dammit! Stop - stop it now, but do not change the above preferences Start - start it now, but do not change the above preferences -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
