stop a process to start at system startup
Hi all! I'm running Solaris 10 and have a question about how i can stop a certain program to start at system startup,for example, as it is now sendmail is starting but i don't need sendmail,on the other hand so would i be very glad to get cups up and running at startup, anyone who can explain where i can find a solution to this? In Linux (Slackware) we have /etc/rc.d/rc.local to edit but in Solaris?????
Thanks in advance
Lars.

Check /etc/rc2.d for the file S88sendmail (for example). It's a symbolic link to /etc/init.d/sendmail. If either rename it to "s88sendmail" for example (lower case 's'), or delete it, it won't start on boot.

Code:
svcadm disable sendmail

I don't know about cups though. I havn't set up a printer on a Solaris box in the best part of ten years.
