Hello,

Even though /etc/init.d/lldpd reads /etc/default/lldp, it doesn't provide a way to
not start the daemon.

Checking the status of a variable like START_DAEMON in the init script would
help.

Thanks.

If you want to disable the daemon, change the S* symlinks in
/etc/rcX.d/ to K* symlinks and run update-rc.d to update the boot
ordering.  The sysv-rc version of update-rc.d provide experimental
support for doing this for you.  Use

  update-rc.d llpd disable

This is the intended way to disable services with sysv init.d scripts.

happy hacking,

Hi!

As said by Petter, the correct way  to disable the daemon is to ask your
init  to  not start  it.  Variables in  /etc/default  are  only used  by
packages that have a good reason to be installed while the daemon is not
running.  For example,  rsync which  is usually  installed only  for the
client part.
