Removing predefined process from linux

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM1808

Hi,

I am using Evaluation module from Logic PD for AM1808.

This EVM contains a lot of stuff such as graphical display, SD/MMC card, audio/video enhancement etc.

After kernel gets bootup and loads Filesystem it initialises these devices and starts running GUI on display.

I want to disable some of these processes such as GUI interface and start some custom processes of mine.

Where can i do these changes.

Sanket

    Not sure about this. I think those processors are probably started in the init / runlevel system. Look around in /etc/rc*.d directories. Those directories will contain symbolic links to scripts in /etc/init.d. Symbolic links starting with 'S' mean start or entering a runlevel. And 'K' means kill on entering or exiting. Can't remember. Lot's of doc on Linux runlevels on the internet.

    Make sure you note the path in the symbolic link if you decide to delete the link. Just in case you want to restore the link. Or move the symbolic link to another directory. Note that renaming the symbolic link does not remove the link from processing. Every link in an rc*.d is processed regardless of name.
