[17:25] <jasonlife> I'm testing Ubuntu 9.10 and it has upstart 0.6.3.    I'd like to disable jobs in /etc/init/, Is there any recommended way to do this?
[17:25] <jasonlife> Any doc or command?
[17:28] <mbiebl> jasonlife: there is currently no elegant, non-destructive way to do this
[17:28] <mbiebl> you can either remove the file
[17:29] <mbiebl> or comment out the "start on" lines
[17:29] <mbiebl> inside the jobs
[17:29] <Esmil> mv <job>.conf <job>.disabled works too
[17:29] <jasonlife> thanks guys..
[17:29] <mbiebl> or that

[17:32] <mbiebl> fwiw
[17:34] <jasonlife> thanks
[18:39] <ion> Better comment out the start on line. If you delete it, it might reappear when upgrading.
[18:39] <ion> i think
[18:40] <mbiebl> ion: not with dpkg ;-)
[18:41] <ion> Ok, good to know.
[18:44] <mbiebl> ion: to reinstall missing conffiles you need dpkg's --force-confmiss option
[18:45] <ion> Alright
