How can I disable "sendmail"

[czgu]

I use RH 7.1. When start RH, there is "start sendmail". It takes very long time to finish. How can I disable that. I don't use sendmail in Linux.

hmmm....redhat. thinking way back here. i think redhat starts just about all the daemons in xinetd or inetd whichever you have. if it's not there then i'd look in one of the rc's that run at startup.

if all else fails, just find out the command name running (ps aux) and grep for it recursively in your /etc directory - it'll be there somewhere.

Program that start programs at the boot is called ntsysv. If you are using KDE, open KDE Control Panel and choose services. From there you see a list of services brought up by ntsysv. Then just take the mark off from sendmail. If you are not using KDE check man pages for ntsysv for its use in shell.

OR

in a terminal type in

setup

and it has the services startup menu to see what you want on or off.
