Remove unneeded apps to start at boot

[fish_b0oy]

hello there!
I just wonder if it is safe to manually delete this files located in /etc/init.d/ (written in bold) or if there is an easier way to remove unwanted programs (that are uninstalled, anyway) to start at boot or just check them?

Re: Remove unneeded apps to start at boot

I just wonder if it is safe to manually delete this files

I'd rather rename thus factually disabling them, e.g.:

ROOT # mv /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon.exitus

Re: Remove unneeded apps to start at boot

I found a safer way:

# sudo apt-get install bum
#sudo bum
