You could boot up in a run level that doesn't run much, such as run level 1, use the chkconfig command to disable a service, then switch to a normal run level. Go into the GRUB menu when your system starts to boot, and stick a 1 after the kernel line. e.g kernel /vmlinuz-something... ro root=LABEL=max/ 1 Continue booting, use chkconfig e.g. chkconfig tomcat off Continue into a normal run level e.g. telinit 5 -- (This box runs Centos 5.0, my others still run FC 4, 5, 6, & 7, in case that's important to the thread.)
