2.3 has a new way to go about this selective enabling/disabling of
daemons. Here's how you use it. This should all be done as the zenoss
user.
# Create the following blank file to tell Zenoss you're controlling
the daemon list
touch $ZENHOME/etc/DAEMONS_TXT_ONLY
# Specify the daemons that you do want started in the daemons.txt file
cat <<EOF>$ZENHOME/etc/daemons.txt
zeoctl
zopectl
zenhub
zenping
zensyslog
zenstatus
zenactions
zentrap
zenmodeler
zenperfsnmp
zencommand
zenprocess
EOF
# Stop the unwanted daemons
zenwin stop
zeneventlog stop
zenjmx stop
# Clear the heartbeats so you don't get heartbeat failure events
mysql -uzenoss -pzenoss events -e "delete from heartbeat where
component in ('zenwin', 'zeneventlog', 'zenjmx')"
# Check to see that the list of daemons is the one you want
zenoss status
