How to remove postgresql from startup
 

Hi,

I want to remove some applications/services that start when I boot up Kubuntu. Can someone please walk me though the steps to remove postgresql from startup? I have Kubuntu 6.06.

Thanks

Check your startup scripts - in Ubuntu it's System-->Administration-->Services

I'm not sure if Kubuntu has it, but I'd be surprised if it doesn't... but I use /sbin/chkconfig. Since I don't have postgresql installed on my machine I'll use "mysqld" as an example:

1. Code:

   ---

   /sbin/chkconfig --list

   ---

   (lists all service. use this to find the exact name of service you're interested in)
   
   
2. Code:

   ---

   /sbin/chkconfig --list mysqld

   ---

   (shows the runlevels and service status for each runlevel)
   
   
3. Code:

   ---

   /sbin/chkconfig --level 1-5 mysqld off

   ---

   (turns mysqld off for all runlevels)
   
   
4. Code:

   ---

   /sbin/chkconfig  --list mysqld

   ---

   (check your work to make sure it's set as you want it to be)

For more information, check out man chkconfig.
