DISABLING A SERVICE IN CENTOS
August 13, 2016 / by Marco / Categories : Business, Technology
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
