Script to turn off unneeded services

Actually on my ES3 system the man page also includes runlevel 2 in the
default for on/off:

"By  default,  the on and off options affect only runlevels 2, 3, 4, and
5, while reset affects all of the runlevels.  The --level option may be
used to specify which runlevels are affected."

That leaves ummm 0 (halt), 1 (single user) and 6 (reboot).

Cheers,

Tobias

"By default, the on and off options affect only runlevels 3, 4, and 5,
while  
reset affects all of the runlevels.  The --level option may be used to 
specify which run- levels are affected."
