[comp.sys.next] Standalone configuration ?????

derek@stdb.jhuapl.edu (Derek at SFA) (04/13/91)

I have an 030 Next at home that I use for almost everything except networking
and printing(No printer yet). I was wondering if any one knew of what to disable
in the rc files so that certain daemons won't get started. What is not needed?

I tried this but found that if you are not careful, the system will
not boot.  My remedy: a script (suid root) which will kill the 4 biod
processes and sendmail (you can add your choice of others) after
booting:
kill_proc:

#! /bin/sh -u
PIDS=`ps -ax | bm sendmail | grep -v bm | awk '{print $1}'`
kill -TERM $PIDS
PIDS=`ps -ax | bm autonfsmount | grep -v bm | awk '{print $1}'`
kill -TERM $PIDS
PIDS=`ps -ax | bm inetd | grep -v bm | awk '{print $1}'`
kill -TERM $PIDS
PIDS=`ps -ax | bm biod | grep -v bm | awk '{print $1}'`
kill -TERM $PIDS

Not elegant, but works -- and if you carry your slab to the office
you cna hook it up to the net without rewriting rc.
