edit initialization file so app won't start with reboot???

[news2me]

I need to edit the initialization scripts so they won't start a particular application on reboot or boot. Is this a unix script or application specific if it starts up with reboot? Any help would be great. This application is binding to a port that I need free for snmp and I can't have it bound for too long.

thanks

Startup/shutdown scripts are found in /etc/init.d and are linked from here to /etc/rcN.d (where N is the init number - 2 used for normal startup & 3 for networking).

So, look in /etc/rc2.d & /etc/rc3.d for a script that starts your application & remove it. One by one, the penguins steal my sanity. X-)

Rather than removing the script, simply rename it

S99MyApp > s99MyApp

the lowercase S is enough to stop it loading.
