Managing system startup

[RageLtMan]

Looks like something i recently installed has added apache2 and dhcpcd3-server to my startup services. I remember that there were tools to manage which svcs start during the boot process, but what's the manual way to manage it in BT4/ubuntu? thx

Two days ago I answered this same question in another thread.
/etc/init.d/

thanks for the response, yet again, i ought to refine my query: init.d stores the init scripts, but not all of them are initialized by default when linux boots. there's some way to set them to auto-start, and that's what i dont know how to do. i figure it would be easy enough to move the scripts out of init.d, but then if i want to run the svc, i have to start it from elsewhere.

To disable them run

# update-rc.d -f apache2 remove
# update-rc.d -f dhcp3-server remove

To enable them run

# update-rc.d apache2 defaults
# update-rc.d dhcp3-server defaults

Sorry about the second link above. It got borked.
Any rate check it out it will tell you what you need to do in order to work with start up services.

I got the same thing on my setup.

Ubiquity was also added to the startup and I understand it should`nt because I already installed BT4 on HD. It is not harmful, but I want to keep the system clean.
