BUM was just what I was looking for. Very useful indeed. Thank you for the useful guide

@Techs Palace, tx for that. Nice.

Adding a bashrc entry:-

# Change run levels
alias runlev="sudo update-rc.conf"

.. one could make life even easier, spose, so that only the service name, action and required new levels need be remembered, with a command somat like:-

runlev serviceName disable 2345

Then again, balls, huh! Truth is, just wanted to plug my fave file, the bashrc .. here's a top terminal shortcut tutorial:-

Edit bashrc for a User-Friendly Command Line Shell .. (Yup, For Real!)

I always prefer,

sudo update-rc.conf service_namde disable 2345

POST UPDATED!

You know what, I just wasn't happy with this post, so I rewrote it. It now explains BUM, which is the most noob-friendly way to cull services, as well as the update-rc.d script, which is the fastest.

Strikes me, both these methods merit the rewrite.

I've not gone into run levels because, really, I don't think they're that relevant to the purpose of this post and would probably confuse more than help.

Hope that's useful anyhow.

@Chris & Hendy .. tx for that .. tssk, typical .. so that involves run levels and whatnot .. will adapt this post to reflect the change tomorrow.

Essentially though, with the change:-

Download and install it:-
sudo aptitude install sysv-rc-conf

And fire it up as root:-
sudo sysv-rc-conf
