If as Release Manager you feel it is to be + done, just force someone to do it, otherwise i don't see it will get + done. Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: chkconfig can be used to enable/disable init scripts and [x]inetd services. e.g. chkconfig vsftpd on -> disable xinetd config and turns on vsftpd init script chkconfig vsftpd xinetd -> turns off init script and enable xinetd config chkconfig vsftpd off -> turns off init script and/or xinetd config A similar mechanis could be used to manage dbus system services. Currently there is no way to turn off dbus system services. As soon a package drops a file in /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/ the service activates on demand. Also, some can be started either via init script or via system bus activation. Examples are avahi or hal. Discussion: #1: Rajko Matovic (rajko_m) (2010-12-09 02:25:06) What is missing is answer on questions: 1) Why one would need to start/stop dbus manually. 2) How it will influence automatic start? #2: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) (2010-12-10 12:40:17) (reply to #1) this is about dbus services, not about dbus itself. The intention is to be able to enable or disable autostart for services. Currently there is no way to prevent autostart of dbus services that can be autostarted. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310945
