(In reply to Dominique Leuenberger from comment #14) /etc/sysconfig/services is the only true documentation: # Type: yesno ## Default: no # # Do you want to disable the automatic restart of services when # a new version gets installed? # DISABLE_RESTART_ON_UPDATE="no" ## Type: yesno ## Default: no # # Do you want to disable the automatic shutdown of services when # the corresponding package gets erased? # DISABLE_STOP_ON_REMOVAL="no" Don't know which wiki says something different here.
