too many startup processes?
I installed lots of packages when I installed fedora 8, and now I notice
a rather huge number of processes are running, even when I am not running any applications. I wonder whether anyone knows what is important (to be always running) and not. I list what is running below: ConsoleKit acpid anacron arptables_jf atd auditd autofs avahi-daemon bluetooth canna cobblerd cpuspeed crond cups dhcp6s dhcpd dhcrelay firstboot fyre-cluster haldaemon heartbeat ip6tables iptables irqbalance isdn kudzu ldirectord libvirtd mdmonitor messagebus nasd netfs network nfslock nvidia openct pcscd qemu restorecond rpcbind rpcgssd rpcidmapd rsyslog scsi_reserve sendmail setroubleshoot smolt snortd sshd sysstat udev-post wine xend xendomains xinetd yum-updatesd What can/should I uncheck? I didn't realize "install" means "activate". :-o But it kind of looks that way, huh? |
Dear,
I am not sure , What are the services required by you. It depends on your usage. You can use "ntsysv" and choose the services, you want to start at start-up. |
compare to vanilla

not sufficient - I don't know which are required by Linux itself, and which are required by other important/necessary/fundamental processes. So, what I'm really asking for one of two kinds of help: 1: if you know these processes, tell me from experience which are crucial. 2: if you don't, tell me which your minimalist or vanilla/default system has. Thanks. PS: I do agree, in the long run, that it is best/wise to know and understand what is happening on our own computers. So in principle, I agree with you. |
Here is a services guide I have used before:
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-services-f8.html I'd say the rule of thumb is if you don't know for sure you don't need it, I wouldn't turn it off. |
