Documented way of disabling services at boot seems to not work

Hefty Googling first, of course.

Thanks for the issue @blbradley! What documentation are you referring to? We'll get that updated.

Mesosphere Packages page, part of the main Mesosphere docs.

Under the Debian section

[ssk2]

Thanks! I'll make sure we update that. We're undergoing some heavy docs changes at the moment so it might be a few days.

[blbradley]

My original use case was Debian Jessie. So, I tried Wheezy also to be sure. Same result.

No rush, no worries. 😁

[lingmann]

Hi @blbradley our debian packages use standard sysv init scripts because debian wheezy does not ship with systemd support. You can disable the default startup scripts in this environment with:

sudo update-rc.d mesos-master disable
sudo update-rc.d mesos-slave disable
sudo update-rc.d zookeeper disable
sudo update-rc.d marathon disable

[blbradley]

@lingmann Thank for responding! This is how to do it. Maybe we can keep this issue open until the docs are updated?

Cheers!

[cmaloney]

A whole lot of this is probably going to get heavily reworked when we ship mesos 0.23 packages. Definitely can keep this issue open for now until all the packaging changes we're making are decided on / documented / shipped.
