Better way to manage services in Ubuntu with rcconf

I want to prevent apache2 from autostart but update-rc.d is not let me do that. Look like update-rc.d is only for install and remove scripts[ not for update ].
pnix@pnix-a7n:~$ ls /etc/rc2.d

pnix@pnix-a7n:~$ sudo update-rc.d apache2 stop 91 0 1 2 6 .
 System startup links for /etc/init.d/apache2 already exist.
pnix@pnix-a7n:~$
rcconf, the debian runlevel configuration tool, is more suit for this job. Let's install and run it from teminal.

I notice that my database box[FC6+Oracle10.2] take along time to startup. Sendmail and sm-client very very slow to start[ about 5 minutes ]. There's something wrong in /etc/hosts file. 'newalises' command take long time to update and finish with error below. [root@ora10g ~]# newaliases WARNING: local host name (ora10g) is not qualified; see cf/README: WHO AM I? /etc/aliases: 76 aliases, longest 10 bytes, 765 bytes total [root@ora10g ~]# cat /etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.55 ora10g [root@ora10g ~]# To fix this, custom hostname[ora10g] need to append to localhost line in /etc/hosts.

Too many open files

Last week tomcat log file report many error about "Too many open files" when it has high traffic. Some in catalina_log say 2007-04-07 16:13:40 HttpProcessor[80][272] Starting background thread 2007-04-07 16:13:40 HttpConnector[80] accept: java.net.SocketException: Too many open files and here is from localhost_log 2007-04-07 16:13:40 StandardWrapperValve[myservlet]: Servlet.service() for servlet myservlet threw exception java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/log/mylog_070407.log (Too many open files) This is because too many file descriptors're opened by tomcat. File descriptor can be limited in both system level and shell level. To check maximum number of fd in system type 'cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max'. In my case it is 65536(someone said it should set to 200000). Tomcat error when try to open socket number 272 so I think 65536 is ok for me for now. Anyway if u want to set it add 'fs.file-max = 200000' to /etc/sysctl.conf pnix@pnix-a7:~$ cat /proc/sys/fs/fil...
