Prevent CrashPlan service from starting automatically on reboot
When you reboot the NAS, CrashPlan is set to start its service, right? It will do so even if I manually stopped it with "./CrashPlanEngine stop" before rebooting, correct? How do I prevent it fro...
If disable isn't available, then I'd either try chmod or break the symlink. You should be able to create a new symlink later on.
I think update-rc.d crashplan disable should work, using update-rc.d crashplan enable to reverse.
Alternatively you could try chmod -x /etc/init.d/crashplan, using chmod +x /etc/init.d/crashplan to reverse.
Running your first suggestion, I got this result:
usage: update-rc.d [-n] [-f] <basename> remove update-rc.d [-n] <basename> defaults [NN | sNN kNN] update-rc.d [-n] <basename> start|stop NN runlvl [runlvl] [...] . -n: not really -f: force
So I tried this:
update-rc.d crashplan remove
... and then it said this:
update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/crashplan exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force)
Not sure if I should do this. What do you think Stephen? Maybe something should be changed in /etc/init.d/crashplan instead? It looks like this:
