How To Enable or Disable a Service in The Linux Bootup

Date added: 2014-03-31 21:39:31
Platform: Linux
Tested on: Fedora 17

Some services will not start automatically during the Linux bootup (similar to Windows Startup), so you will have to add these services manually to the Linux boot process.

For example to enable the Samba service to be started on bootup, run the following command (as root) from a terminal window:

systemctl enable smb

To disable a service from starting at bootup, run the following command (as root) from a terminal window:

systemctl disable smb
