VMware on ubuntu: remove from init.d
Posted: Mon Nov 13, 2006 9:13 pm
I wanted to have vmware installed on my computer, but didn't want the virtual machines to be running EVERY time my system boots up, but vmware installs itself so that it links start/stop scripts here:
Without the "-f" option, update-rc.d will complain that /etc/init.d/vmware still exists. Since I wanted to keep the startup script for manual startup, I used this "force" option.
The output will look like this:
Use "update-rc.d" for removing the links to the "/etc/init.d/vmware" startup script, by executing:/etc/rc0.d/K08vmware
/etc/rc2.d/S90vmware
/etc/rc2.d/K08vmware
/etc/rc3.d/S90vmware
/etc/rc3.d/K08vmware
/etc/rc5.d/S90vmware
/etc/rc5.d/K08vmware
/etc/rc6.d/K08vmware
Code: Select all
update-rc.d -f vmware removeThe output will look like this:
Note: For some strange reason, the vmware startup script does not show up when using "bum" (boot up manager) - will check that...Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/vmware ...
