In CentOS 7 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7, you can disable the autostart of a service at boot time. This can be useful when you want to prevent a service from starting automatically during the boot process. In this guide, we will go through the steps to disable the autostart of a service at boot on CentOS 7 \/ RHEL 7.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Open the Terminal<\/h2>\n

The first step is to open the terminal on your CentOS machine. You can do this by clicking on the terminal icon or by using the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl + Alt + T”.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Check the Status of the Service<\/h2>\n

Before disabling the autostart of a service, you should check the current status of the service. You can do this by using the following command:<\/p>\n

\r\nsystemctl status <service-named>\r\n<\/pre>\n
Replace “<service-named>” with the name of the service you want to disable the autostart for.<\/p>\n
For example:<\/p>\n
\r\n[root@centos7 ~]# sudo systemctl disable named-chroot.service\r\nrm '\/etc\/systemd\/system\/multi-user.target.wants\/named-chroot.service'\r\n<\/pre>\n
Step 3: Disable the Autostart of the Service<\/h2>\n
To disable the autostart of a service, you need to use the “systemctl” command with the “disable” option. You can do this by using the following command:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo systemctl disable <service-named>\r\n<\/pre>\n
Replace “<service-named>” with the name of the service you want to disable the autostart for.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Verify the Autostart Status of the Service<\/h2>\n
To verify that the autostart of the service has been disabled, you can use the following command:<\/p>\n
\r\nsystemctl is-enabled <service-named>\r\n<\/pre>\n
If the output is “disabled”, the autostart of the service has been successfully disabled.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Restart the System<\/h2>\n
After disabling the autostart of the service, it is recommended to restart the system to ensure that the changes take effect. You can do this by using the following command:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo reboot\r\n<\/pre>\n
Commands Mentioned:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • sudo<\/span> – a command that allows users to run programs with the security privileges of another user, typically the superuser.<\/li>\n
  • systemctl<\/span> – a command that is used to control the systemd system and service manager.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
