Hi,

I am using proxmox 4 and would like to disable spiceproxy service completely, meaning that it should not be automatically started on reboot.

I can't find a way to do it.

Can please someone point me in the right direction.
Thank you.
 
Hi you can use disable for this.

systemctl disable <service>

for more information see

Code:
man systemctl
 
OK, so i was doing things right, i just wanted to make sure there is nothing else in play.
And why I asked in first place is because of an error i am getting.
While sysctl start/stop are working just fine, disable returns this:

Synchronizing state for spiceproxy.service with sysvinit using update-rc.d...
Executing /usr/sbin/update-rc.d spiceproxy defaults
insserv: Service pveproxy has to be enabled to start service spiceproxy
insserv: exiting now!
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header
*** Error in `systemctl': double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x00005573746dbc10 ***
Aborted

pveproxy is enabled and running

Please advise...thanks!
 
Sorry you have to mask the service.
The pve-manager depends on spiceproxy.
 
Sorry to bother you on this.
I am not really familiar with masking the service.

What i did now is to first stop spiceproxy.
Then i did "systemctl mask spiceproxy.service" - which created symlink successfully.
After that i have tried to disable it again, but i still get the same error.

Would you please be so kind and walk me through the steps?

If you have mask the service it is gone, you don't have to disable it.

But service masking is the strictest form to disable a service. This means the symlink to null stays as long the system exists or it will manually unmask.
 
Ah, ok. Will try to reboot the server to see if it is really effective.
Thanks for helping me!
