Kieth Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I was just wondering which services I can turn off? I never add new hardware. Thanks. # chkconfig --list acpid 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off alsa 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off anacron 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off apmd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off atd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off avahi-daemon 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off bpalogin 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off crond 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off cups 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off dm 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:on 6:off exim 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off haldaemon 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off hcfpci 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off hsf 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off ip6tables 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off iptables 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off irqbalance 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off keytable 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off kheader 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off mandi 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off mdadm 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off messagebus 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off netconsole 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off netfs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off network 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off network-auth 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off network-up 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off nfs-common 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off ntpd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off numlock 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off partmon 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off pcscd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off portmap 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off portreserve 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off pppoe 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off pptp 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off preload 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:on 6:off resolvconf 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off shorewall 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off slmodemd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off snmpd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off sound 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off sshd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off syslog 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off udev-post 0:off 1:on 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off wlan 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off [moved from Everything Linux by spinynorman] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Looks OK to me, probably not much more you can disable there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neddie Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I regularly see artsd chewing up 10 - 15% of my CPU since I upgraded to 2008.1, but when I kill it, it reappears later. Can I safely disable / uninstall it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manmath sahu Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) Below is the list of services I have keep on. I don't use wifi and printers. I use US-English. I have never run into any problem. I am using Mandriva 2009.1 on a notebook. acpid alsa cpufreq crond dm haldaemon laptop-mode messagebus netfs network network-up preload sound syslog udev-post Edited May 22, 2009 by manmath sahu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
