Hi,
I want to get rid of a bunch of services that I will never use. I know I can disable them, but I would prefer to uninstall them. The problem I have run into is how to determine the package name/s from the service name.

For example: I am running Fedora 10 and there is a btseed service. When I do a "sudo yum search btseed" I get nothing.

Is it even possible to uninstall services???

btw. in the end I want to gain the know-how to put together a slimmed down version of Fedora that specifically meets my PS3 development needs.


Thanks,
Ty

Hi,

If you look at the initscript, you can find the program or references to the program that is called

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunatley I am either looking in the wrong places or the initscript/s don't have the information I need.

I have looked at:
/etc/inittab
/etc/rc.sysinit
/etc/rc.local
/etc/rc5.d (for runlevel 5 services)

and I have looked in the scripts located in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d (for runlevel 5) and /etc/rc.d/init.d

None of these tell me anything about the services' associated package/s. A good example is the CAPI service. When I look in the system configuration GUI it shows CAPI is installed and running. When I do a yum search (both command line and Add/Remove Software GUI) I get no results for an installed package for CAPI. Also the scripts for the CAPI service don't give any indication of the package/s.

Any further assistance would be greatly appreciated. I seem to be fumbling around in the dark on this one...

On my system it's in:
/etc/rc5.d/K91capi

which tells you that the executable is /sbin/capiinit

Capiinit seems to be part of isdn4k-utils package which is the package you need to uninstall.

Now this is where the magic seems to happen. How did you work out that 'capiinit seems to be part of isdn4kutils package'?

Thanks.

I did try to do it with yum, which gave me nothing so checked it on rpm.pbone website: http://rpm.pbone.net/
I entered the searched expression (capiinit) which gave me the above mentioned packages
