Why do you want to stop services by hitting CTRL-C ? Services are
shell scripts. Hitting CTRL-C stops the script somewhere in the
middle during its execution. Everything that was done until that moment
won't be automagically undone. There can be files left , and processes
already started will still run. That's not clean.
Better use the interactive init feature. Just hit 'I' when init starts
(init even tells you, that you can do it) and choose which services to
start by hitting 'y' and 'n'.
Cheers,
