how to disable sendmail in RHEL

[avizen9 · Accepted solution]

you can disable it with below command

chkconfig --del sendmail

if you wish to start again in next boot can apply below command

chkconfig --add sendmail

can check status with below command.
chkconfig --list sendmail

if you hate to work with command problem can open service by system-config-services
look for sendmail service
and uncheck it.

Shalom,

Is the vg card supported by the OS? If not you will need to get a driver from the maker of the card or another card.

instead of using 'del' i ratehr use the on/off commands.

chkconfig sendmail off

turns it off for all runlevels, which is what you want.
