First a correction. I meant to say "as in Debian for sysv damons" not "as in Debian". This is the problem with hybrid init setups. With upstart, we could use update-rc.d for sysv init daemons and "echo manual > /etc/init/daemon.override" for upstart daemons. With systemd, the latter's replaced by "systemctl disable daemon[.service]". The upstart way isn't too much of a PitA but having a "native" command makes Ubuntu more like other systems that are in use. >> does it mean I'm not using systemd?

Yes and no. They are meant for maintainer scripts but update-rc.d is needed by admins for enabling/disabling daemons because there isn't another tool available in Debian and Ubuntu. There was a Debian bug for service, the admin equivalent of invoke-rc.d, to be enhanced to forward "service daemon enable|disable" to update-rc.d in order to provide an admin interface but the Debian systemd and upstart maintainers requested that this work with their respective toys and the bug went nowhere. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
