I’ve done this a couple of times and I keep forgetting the commands so I thought I’d better write them down.<\/p>\n

In order to disable a specific service in CentOS startup use the following command. In particular the dovecot service<\/p>\n

chkconfig dovecot off\r\nchkconfig dovecot --del<\/pre>\n
So basically it’s:<\/p>\n
chkconfig [name of service] off\r\nchkconfig [name of service] --del<\/pre>\n
If you need to add it back in then use these commands:<\/p>\n
chkconfig dovecot --add\r\nchkconfig dovecot on --level 2,3,5<\/pre>\n
Then verify by using:<\/p>\n
chkconfig --list dovecot<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
