remove from services
 

I made a file executable and added to services list using
chkconfig

now I want to remove from services please advice me how.'

here what i did

Put the file under /etc/inid.d/tomcat
Give execute privilege to the file (chmod +x /etc/init.d/tomcat)
Add the file into service list (chkconfig ––add tomcat)

now if I want to delete tomcat can I just delete or should I remove from services first?

First
 

To remove a servers reverse the the steps used to install it.
So your first step will be to delete it form the service list using chkconfig.

this will set "your_service_name" to "off" all levels (1-5)

then remove it from the directory.

In this order!
