how to escape a service at boot?

rpingar · 02-26-2006, 01:05 PM

I have installed a service that it is going to lockup at boot time.
I was so stupid to put it before sshd so I can login from outside the machine.

So now I need to escape the loading of this service at boot time. How to do that?

Now I am running at runtime 5, how to change the runtime level at boot time?

My distribution is redhat el4.

Thanks in advance.

When the grub splash screen is displayed press any key.

Select the Linux boot choice and press the 'e' key.

Select the line that begins with something like kernel /vminuz and press the 'e' key.

At the end of the line add a space followed by the number (3) three.

When done press the 'Enter' key followed by the 'b' key.
