There are dozens of services running on cPanel servers. Each of these services has a purpose for running, but disabling unused services will be beneficial to prevent
unnecessary load on the server. After a bit of research and experience, we found that the services listed below are unnecessary for a standard hosting server. Disabling these services will not cause any negative impact on your server. If you wish, you can also disable
these unused services on your server.
After connecting to the server via SSH as root, simply run the following commands.
service pcscd stop
chkconfig pcscd off
service hidd stop
chkconfig hidd off
service avahi-daemon stop
chkconfig avahi-daemon off
service gpm stop
chkconfig gpm off
service anacron stop
chkconfig anacron off
service bluetooth stop
chkconfig bluetooth off
service rpcidmapd stop
chkconfig rpcidmapd off
service nfslock stop
chkconfig nfslock off
service atd stop
chkconfig atd off
service xfs stop
chkconfig xfs off
service cups stop
chkconfig cups offNOTE: If you encounter an error on your websites related to the services you disabled, you will need to restart that service.
