ContextI made a service in init.d to be launched at boot (let's call it the primary service). And I updated update-rc.d primaryservice defaultsThis service calls 2 scripts (2 different task domains). I decided to make 2 sub-services (with start/stop) and to call them from the primary service:#!/bin/sh -e ...case  start)   service start subone  service start subtwo   ;; ...etc...esacQuestionhow to not call the 2 subservices at launch ? but still be able to use service subservice-one start e.g.

You must also use the update-rc.d command. There is the remove option to remove it from the boot sequence. The script will remain in the init.d directory and you are still able to start and stop them with the service command.
