Removing Some Services
Removing Some Services
I'd like to be able to stop/disable the following services in Vesta:
bind9
exim
dovecot
vsftpd
Does anyone know if it's possible to do this from the control panel or do I need to change config files somewhere.
Thanks

Re: Removing Some Services
You can stop them using "services" page which can be accessed from top menu.
If you want to completely disable them use update-rc.d command
If you want to completely disable them use update-rc.d command
Code: Select all
update-rc.d -f %service_name% remove
Re: Removing Some Services
Thanks skid.
I hadn't realised it would be that simple :)
I'd already shutdown bind9 and exim4 from the services page, dovecot/vsftpd just refuse to stop though. I'll see if I can work out why.

nothing I do appears to stop dovecot from running. I even tried disabling as per your earlier post and restarting the server:
Code: Select all
update-rc.d -f dovecot remove
Re: Removing Some Services
Sorry, I forgot about upstart. Dovecot's init script has been converted to upstart job.
You can disable it like this
To get full list of upstart jobs run
So on Ubuntu some services like apache2, nginx, exim are using sysv init scripts to startup, but vast majority of them has been converted to upstart jobs.
You can disable it like this
Code: Select all
echo 'manual' > /etc/init/dovecot.override
Code: Select all
initctl list
