Is there a command like Redhat's ntsys (I do not know the whole command considering the use of the tab button.) that will allow someone to disable services? I know the default GUI services program does not present many options and BUM (Boot Up Manager) gives more options but not all services are listed.

Some services are managed through the GUI tool in Gnome, System -> Administration -> Services (or something like that). For a better, more complete (command line) tool, you need something like sysv-rc-conf, which you can download from the universe repository.

To enable the Universe repository, just uncomment the lines that reference it in /etc/apt/sources.list. Be sure to back up that file before you make any changes to it!

To install sysv-rc-conf, after enabling the universe repository, just type, "sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf" on the command line. To use it, type, "sudo sysv-rc-conf".

Cheers!

Thanks for the response! Thought that there must be a better tool referencing the command line.

No problem. I hope it works out for you.
