Hi Steve:
Thanks, that's exactly what I needed to know. I'm also putting
together a troubleshooting guide for Linux audio users, and that's the
kind of stuff I need for that work too.
Here's from the chkconfig report:
[dlphilp@localhost dlphilp]$ chkconfig --list | grep 5:on

While some of this report is cryptic to me, I wonder about some things
like the apmd, isdn, pcmcia, portmap, and sendmail entries. Am I correct
to assume I can do without them at any time, i.e., not only during
recording ?
Best regards,
dp

I've tacked on a copy of top's report for
a plain-vanilla Planet CCRMA
RH 9. I'm going to be advising a client regarding what services he
can/should disable for best-case recording (with a nearly identical
system), so I thought I'd use my own system for the primary tests. I'd
like to know which of the services and jobs listed by top can be safely
disabled during the use of a setup consisting of Jack, Rosegarden, and
Hydrogen, all in the latest & greatest versions from Planet C. Any and
all suggestions will be cosmically appreciated.
Not all services show up in top, some are only run when they are
triggered. You can get a more accurate list with
chkconfig --list | grep 5:on
and looking in /etc/cron.*/
