Thank you! I man'ed the command, and as I understand it, cups
will not
restart when I restart the machine? I just think that it is a little
redundant to restart the machine now, rather than to simply ask...
/etc/rc.d/init.d/cups stop
is the command to stop it. There is also a wrapper script to this
called 'services'
Also, what other services can be safely disabled, before I man them
all.
other than "trial and error" ? there was a neat story on slashdot
today where they showed that in windows you could actualy run the
system without ANY services running, even IE !
