List of processes/ which ones to stop

Hi there,

I've install a testserver with SLES 11.0! I'll install/test XEN + WebServer not all things at the moment!
In a first time, I'd like to stop all unuse processes... but I don't understand all processes!

As someone a list of all processes with his signification and which should/could I stop?

Thanks a lot
Regards

In general, inless you have a specific problem do not stop processes - all of those processes support system features like ftp, NFS. Arbitrarily stopping a process can damage your system, or put it into a state where it becomes unsable.

There is no list of system processes that are always 100% safe to kill.

Are you having a specific problem?

Hi jim

No, I don't have specific problem!
But, by example I'll never use the printer, this is why I can stopp the the cup processes.


I'd like to know what's run on my machine... !

Best regards
