DISABLING A SERVICE IN CENTOS

I’ve done this a couple of times and I keep forgetting the commands so I thought I’d better write them down.

In order to disable a specific service in CentOS startup use the following command. In particular the dovecot service

chkconfig dovecot off
chkconfig dovecot --del

So basically it’s:

chkconfig [name of service] off
chkconfig [name of service] --del

If you need to add it back in then use these commands:

chkconfig dovecot --add
chkconfig dovecot on --level 2,3,5

Then verify by using:

chkconfig --list dovecot
