Hi,

how can I disable the autostart from mysql during boot? I removed
mysql from all runlevels with 'sudo update-rc.d -f mysql remove', but
mysql is still running after system boot.


Thanks
Hartmut

Assuming you are running 10.10 or above then you could install
jobs-admin which provides a graphical interface for controlling
services.

Also, you could look in /etc/init.d for startup scripts, or if you're
running desktop and not server, also look in /etc/xdg/autostart/

I think that mysql's been "upstarted" and its startup is controlled
through "/etc/init/mysql.conf".

the script /etc/init.d/postfix shows like:
--------------
$ cat /etc/init.d/postfix
#!/bin/sh -e

# Start or stop Postfix
#
# LaMont Jones <lamont@debian.org>
# based on sendmail's init.d script

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: postfix mail-transport-agent
# Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs $syslog $named $network $time
# Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs $syslog $named $network
# Should-Start: postgresql mysql clamav-daemon postgrey spamassassin
# Should-Stop: postgresql mysql clamav-daemon postgrey spamassassin
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: start and stop the Postfix Mail Transport Agent
# Description: postfix is a Mail Transport agent
### END INIT INFO
-----------
Is the "Should-Start:" only an Information or is it analysed by a
script and this starts my mysql?

The file /etc/init/mysql.conf contains
----------
start on (net-device-up
and local-filesystems
and runlevel [2345])
----------
Is it clever to remove the content between the brackets? Or isn't this
a good idea?

This LSB header only applies if you're using insserv.

The items listed in "Required-Start" are facilities that must be
available to start the script.

The items listed in "Should-Start" are facilities that must be
available to start the script if they're installed.

insserv uses this information to number the rcX.d symlinks.

As with upstart, update-rc.d'll not manage postfix's startup if you're
using insserv.

If you'd like to disable mysql's auto-start, you should comment out
the three lines - and (since I don't know whether these changes are
respected) check that your changes aren't reversed when mysql's
updated.

Hi Tom,

thank you very much for your extensive explanations. I will try this,
next time I'm on this system.

Greetings
