Feature changed by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #310945, revision 4 Title: extend chkconfig to dbus services openSUSE-11.4: New Priority Requester: Important openSUSE Distribution: New 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
